The Train of Lights in Niles is one of many opportunities for people to get involved in the holiday spirit. During the holiday season, the Niles train is decorated with Christmas decorations and gives rides to people. Interact Club hosts volunteering events in Niles annually.
Students start volunteering at the Train of Lights Dec. 13. The club is anticipating a greater turnout this year as compared to previous years.
“This is my first year as an Interact Officer and I’m really excited about being responsible for an event in the holiday season,” club treasurer Rahul Kammath said. “So far, the coordinators said that the only tasks the volunteers will be responsible for are directing people to the trains and the buses.”
In the past the volunteers have received discounted train tickets to be used later on in the year.
“What I enjoy about this event is that students get to trade tasks with other volunteers,” club president Angela Chu said. “Students should really come to this event because it’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Usually the coordinator is very nice and buys us Bronco Billy’s pizza for helping.”
