Hi - thanks for your replies. That's what I'm doing - adding custom CSS for the #mainmenubar but I can't figure out how to specifically tell the CSS to change the linked text to white. I'm basically hacking into the back end of the WP site because the theme they set up for the site 4 years ago is so highly customized that you cannot just plug in a mega menu plugin. Dreamweaver is a big big help for me in doing this because it allows me to test out the code and so forth.
Here is the full CSS of the site. My #mainmenubar code is not in that file yet but in the <head> while I'm testing it. Once I get it to work, I plan to add it to the main CSS file below:

Thank you for your assistance and hope you can help.
