  • What - if anything - was done to let Games volunteers know about how they might continue volunteering somewhere, somehow once the Olympics were over?
  • What connections - if any - were made with existing volunteer-involving organizations to offer ongoing opportunities?
  • What advice David might have for other organizers of major events about harnessing and re-channeling such a large outpouring of volunteer interest.
