Hi Cindy,

Because we are in a small town, we try to keep from going to the same well for too many sponsorships in a given year.  Regardless of who asks for sponsorship, I first approve all requests. That way I can keep tabs on what we are asking for and from whom.

Good luck!

> I have an question about routine HVAC maintenance.  I am the Curator of Collections at a medium sized museum.  We own four buildings all of which are temp and RH regulated.  I have been with the museum for three years and have worked with the same maintenance person for the entire time of my tenure.  He does do periodic maintenance checks on the system but I was wondering if anyone out there had a checklist of what your HVAC maintenance does on a monthly or quarterly basis.  I would like to create some accountability for what he does or doesn't do and also have some kind of paperwork for when filters were changed, etc.
