Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I was negotiating with a local Elks to perform weekly karaoke shows. Negotiations were concluded and a contract from the Elks was forwarded to me for my signature and date. I signed the contracts and they acknowledged the return of the contracts. About one week later I discovered that they hired another karaoke host explaining that since they did not sign the contract (their contract), it was not valid.
I was under the impression that since it was fairly negotiated, drawn up, forwarded to me for my signature and return, it was a binding contract.

You are correct. Negotiating and proffering to you the written contract constituted an offer to enter into the contract which you accepted by signing and returning it. That formed a binding contract.
