Yeah, but that's the ting about compensated jobs. How can we pay someone 
one year and not pay someone the next year and expect the same level of 
service?

LOL! "I can't fire me, I quit!"  Yes, I think that either way it should 
be a one-time agreement.

I'm not rabid about paying someone if we can find a volunteer. I'm just 
offering it up for discussion because volunteers who actually stick with 
a job for more than a month seem to be thin on the ground. Paying 
someone a flat fee or "per entrant" fee would make the worker take the 
job more seriously, and a little dedication is something we could truly use.
