Report on San Luis Obispo National Train Day
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Volunteer Station Host David Weisman almost single-handedly organized Saturday’s National Train Day event in San Luis Obispo, CA with Amtrak’s cooperation. He got Trader Joe’s to donate food, volunteers to donate their time, and garnered local media coverage. The SLO Model Railroad Association also participated. David writes, “I wish to extend my sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of you who made the first National Train Day in San Luis Obispo an enormous success. We collected over 175 names on our petitions, which means at least 175 adults passed through (who took the time to sign) plus dozens of children, and undoubtedly adults who didn’t sign, which means over 200 people passing through the station. A tremendous turnout!”
As you can see from David’s photos below, the event attracted the young and the young at heart!
Volunteers Alice, David, and Barbara. Thank you for your efforts!
