Can you wait until next October Sharon?...i'll bring the stuff and do it myself!
You should give them a good rub down/abrade with wet or dry paper first..fine grade (400 or thereabouts)
Then get yourself a can of Zinseer B.I.N primer/sealer for the first coat.

Apply it with a foam radiator roller to eliminate the brush marks and give you a uniform even finish..
Allow to dry and apply another coat, before you put the finish coat on ...give the surface a rub over with the fine wet or dry paper to remove any airborne surface nibs.
(i would go for a semi gloss, or 'sem-i as you say.. finish
