Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

My name is Karrie Kuecker and I have been a research assistant at The 
LINGUIST List since September 2010. I'd like to take this opportunity 
to thank all of you for supporting The LINGUIST List; this wonderful 
opportunity would not be possible if not for the donations our subscribers. 
Please donate to this year's Fund Drive to keep the organization thriving:

During my time at LINGUIST I have been exposed to several different aspects 
of the discipline, including allowing me the opportunity to be a member of 
the LL-MAP (Language and Location: A Map Annotation Project, www.llmap.org). 
During my time on LL-MAP, I have developed an appreciation for field linguistics, 
and have also learned a lot about digitizing print media, and how to display 
information in a manner that is accessible to all those within the discipline.

In addition to my work on LL-MAP, I also maintain the Web Resources area of the 
LINGUIST site which provides links to external sites and features that maybe of 
interest to and are freely accessible by everyone, and the 'Ask-A-Linguist' area 
of the website, which allows anyone with linguistic questions to pose their 
questions to a panel of professional linguists. I also co-administer all of the 
listserv for all of the e-mail lists that LINGUIST List hosts and mirrors, and 
am an active member of the 'Tech Team,' helping to keep the computers in the 
office running smoothly. These varied tasks have exposed me to many different 
aspects and opportunities available within the field of linguistics, and have 
helped to shape both my academic and professional goals.

Here at LINGUIST, we rely on donations from subscribers to fund students.  
Your donations allow us to keep working and develop new tools for the 
linguistic community. Now more than ever, we need your help.  

Please consider donating today. Whether you can donate $5 or $50, it 
is worth it!

Best regards,
Karrie Kuecker

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!
