Our symphony had to reorganize 5 or 6 years ago, to help them out for a couple of years I donated my work as they got themselves reorganized. I traded work for advertising in the programs. However, they (office pukes) started taking it for granted and scoffed at paying the bill after the season started one year. I finally had to take it to the conductor who wasn't in the loop. My frustration could have been avoided by giving them notice of intention to start charging immediately after the end of the season. We all want to contribute the culture of the community but you have be aware of a institutional mindset and above all stand up for yourselve.

They answer that they are having cash flow problems and would get back with you later. The second month passes and the situation will likely need to be resolved in small claims court. It is so tempting to let it be known publicly who they are. What would you do? Gene -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
