So today -- I happened to be here when a guy shows up in a black older model Jeep Cherokee asking for a $40.00 donation to the

LAKE MARTIN SEARCH & RESCUE fund. Having read things from folks in the know on this board-- I turned him down. He had a laminated piece of paper with a lighthouse insignia on it and it had a blurb about how they needed donations of $40.00. He was also wearing a well work shirt with the same insignia on it.  He said he was sure I had seen their boat and I politely told him -- "actually I have not" . I felt like a cad because I normally give to these types of things.... but something was off. So I didn't. Is this thing for real? I saw a FB page but it sure was not very informative. It said they were in a bldg in Jacksons Gap --donated by the City of Jacksons Gap.  Feeling unsure of my first attempt at being stingy.
