Donating to CHINOOK list

[Dave Robertson]

There, I think that subject line is more to the point.

I'm repeating the information on how to donate money to LINGUISTlist, 
which is the host of the CHINOOK list.

They'll give you a nice t-shirt (their "baby linguist" shirt is still in 
the family)...or other premium.

This is your one opportunity per year to support CHINOOK, other than by 
subscribing.

Thanks for reading the message below!
