	As 1999 draws to a close, we'd like to thank our 1999 donors once
        again and to remind those of you that have not yet made a
	contribution  that LINGUIST is a non-profit organization, with 501C
	tax status (in   the USA). In other words, your donation--should you
	care to make one--would be tax-deductible.
	
	We hope you will--not only because LINGUIST needs money (as
	usual!) to sustain its services, but also because your contributions
	help deserving graduate students who serve as editors or computer
	programmers for LINGUIST.  Your donations are currently funding 8
	students.  They not only constitute one of our best crews in years
	but--as you will see from the list below--are remarkably diverse in
	interests and nationalities:
	
	>From Eastern Michigan University:
	
	Scott Fults..
	Received his Bachelor's degree in English from the  University of
	Michigan. He is now finishing up his Master's degree in
	Linguistics, focusing on formal syntax and semantics.
	
	Lydia Grebenyova...
	Born and raised in Russia, Lydia completed her   degree in Foreign
	Languages at the Pedogogical University of Voronezh   and is now
	a graduate student in Linguistics. Long fascinated by   language,
	she is interested in its structural/formal aspects.
	
	Naomi Ogasawara.. .
	Is ffrom Chiba prefecture (next to Tokyo) in Japan,   where she
	earned her B.A. in Business Admistration. With 7 years  teaching
	experience (English and Japanese) in Japan, she is finishing  up
	her M.A. in TESOL at Eastern Michigan University. She is also
	working  on a second M.A. in Linguistics.
	
	Qian Liao...
	Comes from the southwest of China, where she received her
	Bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry in 1992. After working 4
	years at Luoyang Petrochemical Engineering Corporation as a
	process engineer,   she went to graduate school at the University
	of Petroleum in   1996. Qian came to the USA in 1998 and is
	currently  studying   Computer Science at Eastern Michigan
	University.
	
	>From Wayne State University:
	
	Jody Heullmantel...
	Is an artist specializing in sculpture and   photography and has her
	B.F.A degree from the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit,
	Michigan. She has turned her attention to   Linguistics and is
	currently working on her Master's degree.
	
	Karen Milligan...
	A former professional dancer, she received her degree in Speech
	and Drama from Mercy College of Detroit, Michigan. Director  of
	Milligan School of Ballet for 21 years, she is now also persuing a
	Master's degree in Linguistics and is interested in child language
	acquisition.
	
	James Yuells...
	Having lived and worked in Russia, James is now back home
	working on two degrees,a B.A in Linguistics and a B.F.A. in
	Photography.
	
	Sudheendra Adiga...
	Comes to us from India where he received his B.S.in   Engineering
	from the Bangalore University. He is currently a graduate   student
	in the Computer Science program. His specialties include C,   Unix
	Internals, and Web Technologies.
	
	(And, by the way. . . . It's not only a great crew but an expanding
	one.  We will shortly be calling for applications for another
	LINGUIST List-sponsored fellowship at Eastern Michigan U..  So if
	any of you know of an able linguistics student who would like to
	pursue an American M.A., we hope you'll bring the LINGUIST
	fellowship to their attention.)
	
	This year the crew has been hard at work on several inovations
	(which you will hear more about when we kick off the 2000 fund
	drive in March).  For example:
	
	Instituting the Jobs Information page
	Improving the search engine
	Starting the LINGUIST cookbook (web-version)
	Expanding our book announcement service (a record 23 publishers
	announced linguistic books on LINGUIST last year, so we were
	able to bring you announcements of  almost all the linguistic
	publications in the field.)
	
	And our biggest and most exciting developments, The Multi-list
	Archiving Project and the Full Site Search Facility (details in the
	next issue of All) are well underway.
	
	As you can see, your money is being put to good use, for without
	your  support all of these projects would be impossible.  So if you
	have not  yet contributed to LINGUIST, think about doing so before
	Dec 23 and getting that tax  write-off.
	
	You can contribute by credit card at
	
	http://linguistlist.org/donation.html
	
	or send a check to:
	
	The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund
	c/o Dept. of English Language and Literature
	Eastern Michigan University
	Ypsilanti, MI 48197
	
	Many of you, of course, have already contributed. The names of our
	1999 contributors are listed below and at:
	
	http://linguistlist.org/contributors.html
	
	To these 230 generous supporters, we offer our heartiest thanks.
	
	Sincerely,
	Helen, Anthony, Andrew
