Val -
     I sent the bottom part of the Greek fingerspelling poster to Kostas and
he's translated it below.  Hopefully you can get a good copy and permission
to post directly from them.

Hey, a really long name!
The title of the organisation is "Pedagogical Institute" its web site is
www.pi.gr and it is the official Counceling Body of the Greek Ministry of
Education.
The title of the project is "Signs in Eucation", the Greek word NOHMA here
has
a double meaning -sign and meaning-.
The project was supported by European Union and it was part of a greater
project funded by European Structural Funds, having as a general aim the
modernization of the Greek Educational System.
