 Region 4 | Western North America | Fund Drive 2014

Welcome back fellow travelers!

Let’s start our trip from southern California all the way along the North
American West coast.

Southern California is now home to such sites as Disneyland and Universal
Hollywood Studios. But that is just for entertainment. Going up the coast
either along the I-5 or the more scenic Route 101 takes us to San Francisco.
Serving as what may be the divide between North and South California, We have
sights such as the Golden Gate Bridge.

If we travel to California, we can't miss the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim,
California. This is where Walt Disney World began. All the original ideas,
concepts for the magical kingdom started from here. In addition, It is the
only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt
Disney.

Part of our plan in southern California is making our trip a short driving
vacation along US Route 101. It is perhaps the most historic highway in
California. Although the highway has been superseded in overall importance for
transport through the state by Interstate 5, US 101 remains an important road
linking cities along the coast of California. So let's hope we could have more
time to enjoy breathtaking scenery of redwood forests and coastal shores along
the scenic road US 101.

Now it’s time to stop at the Universal Studios Hollywood and explore all the
rides, shows and attractions. This special Hollywood studio tour will take you
through the scenes of a real working movie studio.

Moving further north, The North American Northwest Coast cultural area
consists of a long narrow band from Southeast Alaska to Oregon. The distance
is nearly 1500 miles. The width of the area is never more than 50 miles at any
given point.

As we conclude the first stop in Western North America, we want to remind you
about the different regions that we have already visited and to see the
featured linguists from those regions as well. Don't forget to support your
school with your donations! In first place we have the University of
Washington, followed by Stanford University in second, and the University of
California, Santa Barbara in third. There's still time for these to change and
they are changing constantly. Is you school not on the board yet? Donate today
(https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm) and let the race to the
top begin!

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).

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.
