Park District Seeks Holiday Volunteers

Volunteers from middle school age through adult are invited to attend the 2011 Holiday Volunteer Open House and Sign Up Night on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

The event will take place at Huntington Learning Center, located at 924 W. 75th Street, Suite 112, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Prospective volunteers are welcome to come at any time during the 2-hour timeframe, however, sign-ups for specific times and dates to volunteer at Santa House and other activities will occur on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Volunteering at our festive holiday events in December is a wonderful way to experience the joy of the season,” said Park District Volunteer Coordinator Lynnette Hoole. “It’s something families and friends can do together, and it’s also a way of making new friends,” Hoole added.

The Park District is looking for volunteers to help greet guests at Santa House, which runs from Dec. 2 through Dec. 18 on weekends and some evenings, and then from Dec. 19-23 from 2:00-8:00 p.m. Volunteers also are needed for Gingerbread House Decorating and Candy Cane Lane.

Prospective volunteers can complete a volunteer application online prior to the Open House by visiting www.napervilleparks.org and clicking on the volunteer page under “Support the Park District.”  For more information on all of the Naperville Park District’s programs and services, or to register online, visitwww.napervilleparks.org, or call 630-848-5000.
