Volunteering at the Olympics

When I was growing up the Olympics made a huge impression on me, even though we didn't have a TV for most of my childhood (I would watch at my friend Ron Bell's.) I remember my Mom, who has never been a fan of any sport, talking on the phone to me while I was in Peru - and how this guy Eric Heiden was just amazing on the ice. The funny thing is that years later I would meet him in a different sport.

Now the Vancouver Olympics
are coming to the Northwest - well, actually Vancouver, BC. And I think it is going to be soooo cool. Here's a link to their site for information on tickets, venue location and even volunteering. If you have never volunteered for a world class event I highly recommend it. It gives most people a perspective they would never have a snowballs chance to get.
