Please say it isn’t so!

Another friend who also had permission from the owners of the store to set up a flea market-type table for the benefit of Caring For Creatures was also told she did not have his permission. She has always had permission from the owners to set up a table at Christmas time for dog/cat toy bags, the proceeds of which also benefit Caring For Creatures. Will this be terminated as well?
Is this Fluvanna county or a dog-eat-dog society in some big northeast city? Where is the kindness and charity? Please say it isn’t so!
