<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I can do some proofreading, and possibly translating from French to English, but I am not confident moving in the opposite direction (English to French).

We have a paid translator we use for the monthly newsletter and press releases, but if we had to use a professional more than that we'd be broke. We have a small group of volunteer translators, but I hate to inundate them with stuff. </font> </p>
