The Day I took the Olympic Torch in…

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!!
