Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

I began working at LINGUIST List fall 2009 and I can't 
tell you how lucky I feel to be working for such a great 
organization. Please help us continue to provide resources 
to the linguistic community by donating here: 
http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm 

Before I started working here, I knew that LINGUIST List 
compiled information about jobs, conferences, books, and so 
on for members of the linguistic community, but I had no 
idea how much else they do! They are truly committed to 
contributing to the academic field as a whole via amazing 
research projects like MultiTree, LL-MAP, and EMELD. If you 
haven't seen what great resources these are, please visit the
sites below - I wish I had known about them sooner!

http://www.llmap.org/
http://emeld.org/index.cfm

My responsibilities here include posting academic job 
announcements, sending out listserv emails, maintaining the 
EMELD website, and helping to organize conferences. I have 
to say, one of my very favorite parts of this job is 
communicating with subscribers, especially about job 
announcements. The positive feedback I receive underscores 
what a valuable service we provide to employers and job seekers.

I love being a part of LINGUIST List, and your donations 
make all that we do possible:

I can't tell you how much your support means - thank you!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
