Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

The votes are in--and the winning Limerick has been chosen! 

"There once was a linguist that's Sweet,
Who could place London speech within feet.
This philologist told
Of Germanic of old,
But left us before he could tweet."

We thank our winner Brenda Boerger, and all of those who wrote 
and voted on Limericks! Just in case you missed this incredible 
competition, check out the Limerick leaderboard:

If you liked this competition and haven't yet donated,
please help us finish our Fund Drive today!

Yes, voting has ended, but hopefully your laughs and hee-haws 
haven't! You can still read all of the Limericks in 
our Limerick Museum:

And finally, we'll leave you with this!

There once was a LINGUIST Fund Drive
to help LINGUIST continue to thrive
We've grown trepidatious
But hope you'll be gracious
And can pledge to help us survive!

Thank you!
-The LINGUIST List Crew

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!
