Yesterday I took the Olympic Torch I ran with so that the Gamesmakers could have a look. It was a great pleasure as they were more excited than I had anticipated. I had further motivation as I also wanted to go to the Olympic village so that some of the athletes might want to have a hold as well. I then went to the USA House to be available for any US VIP who might want a ride back to their hotel as there was an Olympic reception going on there. Given I had the Torch, I asked if the organisers wanted me to take it into the reception. I was given a Media pass and spent the next three hours talking with Olympians, Olympic Commitee panel members, and their guests. We had a great evening with many taking advantage of the US Team members photograph to have their photo taken as well. Finally I saw the original Olympic Torch from the 1948 Olympics. It was a terrific day of volunteering. Have a look. As they say…”A picture is worth a thousand words”. Have a look!!










Good for you, Maureen. Great fun.
