Just two weeks ago I had a signed contract canceled this year for New Year's Eve. It was 2 hours for $550 - from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. . I still haven't booked New Years Eve.
It's a nice retirement home. Contract was signed by the ex-Activity Director. She liked me a lot, and hired me every month for the birthday party for about 16 months + the last two New Years Eves. I think that from my being there so often, I stopped being so special.
So the new Activity director at the behest of the assistant (who I didn't have good relations with), canceled with no explanation.
I wasn't told the reason why they canceled. Of course, it's very upsetting for me.
I would take them to small claims court, except for one fact: The two sister facilities of this place hire me a total of 10 evenings for $200/1 hour show.
I am going to put some pressure on them to book me several times next year, but I don't want to put too much pressure on them for the above reason.
