Centering tables in IE7

Question

I'm a volunteer for a school foundation site, and am trying
to redesign the site for them. I got some good help on the opening
page here the other day, but now am stuck on another page:
http://canyoncrestfoundation.org/donorlist.html
It looks great in Safari, Firefox, and older versions of IE,
at least the one or two that I have available, but in IE 7, all the
tables are smooshed against the left side of the screen. Can anyone
help me fix this?
Actually I'll sneak in one other question here. I would like
to have the links on the whole site be red, as they are now. But
I'd really like to have the background of the menu be black, as it
is here:
http://canyoncrestfoundation.org/newpage2.html
But some people can't see the red against the black. Is there
anyway to have the links on that menu only be white? I realize that
it's possible to do a fancier menu, or insert a commercial menu,
but right now I have too many other issues to deal with. Thanks

>tons of weird stuff
I had another look - there's two lots of META tags as well
(description and
keywords)
