[Lincolnparkdc] Book program people at it again

[Doriann Apice]

They came by my house as well. I had no idea if it was a scam or not. I would have been willing if there was some way to confirm it is real. I did all kinds of fund raisers as a kid and hate to turn away one who is legit. It is sad that it has come to this.
