A very pushy young man came to my door right before Thanksgiving asking me to give him money to sponser a child to travel for a sports final play-off game in Hawaii. He was very interested in getting the full amount, which I don't recall exactly, but was in the area of 75-80 dollars. He was very gung-ho about his plan and asked had I ever been to Hawaii. I told him that I had little interest in ever going there, and explained that I would like to call my husband because we discuss expepnditures greater than $50. He grew impatient and asked could I just give him $20 and be a partial sponser, as some of my other neighbors had opted to do. I gave him a personal check in the amount he asked for and was relieved when he left. The check cleared my bank on 11/24/09 and had some strange notations on it, which I will try to capture and attach to this report.
