The Olympic Torch is coming to Richmond on Tuesday February 9, and NPIDA parent Harolyn (mom of Brianna) is going to be one of the proud torch bearers! The Olympic Torch Relay organizers offered the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel (where Harolyn works) to select one staff member to be a torch bearer, and Harolyn was the lucky nominee. Harolyn will be extra-busy this month as she is responsible for overseeing the arrangements for 400 members of the media and press who are staying at the Sheraton during the Olympics.For those of you who live in Richmond, the details of Harolyn's segment of the torch relay are as follows: she will be running along No. 5 Road and turning on to Williams Road at approximately 4:30pm. The torch will wind it's way through Richmond, concluding at the Richmond "O-Zone" with Rick Hansen.
Harolyn will be purchasing her Olympic torch on behalf of the Sheraton, where it will be on display in the lobby following the relay. She has promised to send along a photo of herself in action during the torch relay, which I will post here. Congratulations on this big honour Harolyn, and enjoy your special day!
