1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.

3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject:: Translation help

Dear MENDELE readers,

I am a comic performer and I'd like to translate some pop songs from 
English to
Yiddish. My pigeon Yiddish/New Zealand accent doesn't 'cut the mustard' 
and I'm
looking for someone with a keen sensibility and humour with some 
knowledge of 60's /
70's music who can help me translate about five songs from ENGLISH TO 
YIDDISH

Please let me know if anyone is available for this. It's not a paying 
gig, but it
will be FUN.

Contact me at debfiller at sympatico.ca
I live in Toronto but can call you anywhere.
