Dear all

Apologies for cross-postings.

I've just received this, through my membership of the National Museum of
Language's Facebook group. It seems to me that the NML, recently
established in Washington, DC, is a valuable institution that is really
worth supporting, and I'd encourage anyone in the DC area to pay them a
visit, and everyone else to look at their website. As well as that more
general call for support, too, the speaker series advertised here does look
interesting!

I have never actually been to the NML, but more details about what they do
are available at their website, as I say.

Best wishes

Damien Hall
