Year 3 - Day 169 - June 17

Every year around this time, these signs start popping up all over our area. On our way back from the family Father's Day lunch I had a chance to take a picture because I wasn't driving. They are always on light poles, street signs, or stuck in the ground at intersections. They are looking for host families for students from Spain. There's a 908 phone number to call if you're interested. Every year it bothers me for a variety of reasons.

#1 - Do the families in Spain know that THIS is how host families are found? Just anyone sitting at a red light who can read the number can call up and offer out their home? Creepy.

#2 - There's no way of knowing what they're here for. Is it an organization? Just a random person who sends  Spanish kids here every year? Mysterious.

#3 - Why is it a out of state phone number? Granted in the days of cell phones, you can have any number anywhere, but still. Odd.
