Bob---you need to get paid for the work you do; advise the Civic Center that you'll be sending them a monthly or quarterly invoice for all the little things you do besides tuning. Don't ask; tell. When, or if, there's pushback, simply point out that you don't work for free. Stand up. If you feel you deserve to get paid for the work you do, they will too. It's just human nature. David A.
