[fvc-wat-disc] Translation help

[Martha Lauzon]

Hi Anita,

Sure, add me to the group!

We have met, technically speaking. This past summer I walked up to your table during one of those "open streets" events and introduced myself. I think we talked for maybe three whole minutes. (-:

I will make it out to one of the FVC events one of these days,
Martha Lauzon

Thank you, Martha!! That is so helpful.

We're heading into our busiest time ever in the next two years before the next federal election. We have a historic window of opportunity here for federal PR and we're going to push it 100%. We don't have very many members in Quebec (Quebec has it's own proportional representation association) but everything that goes out to all our contacts in Canada has to be (or should be - can't always do it) in both languages. We're creating a new website with new pages telling people how to take action. And I need to send out mailings for an upcoming national video contest and writeathon. All of a sudden translation (and proofreading what other volunteer translator have
done) has become a real issue!

Can I add you to our volunteer translators group? Whenever there's something to be translated or proofread, I send it out to the group and see who jumps in to volunteer.

Thanks again, and hope to meet you at an event sometime!

Anita
