Meet the Advisors' Challenge: donate $2,500 in the next 24 hours and
make $4,000 for LINGUIST!

The LINGUIST List Advisory Panel is a group of 30 linguists from around
the world who advise LINGUIST on matters big and small. The Advisors
have already donated $2,500 of their own money to help LINGUIST meet the
2006 Fund Drive goal of $52,932. The Advisors challenge all LINGUIST
subscribers to match the $2,500 in the next 24 hours. If you can do
this, the advisors will contribute an additional $1,500!

Please donate right now at http://linguistlist.org/donate to help make
$4,000 for LINGUIST List.

LAST-MINUTE news FLASH:  MultiLingual magazine will extend the
complimentary offer of its full-year subscription to anyone who donates
a minimum of $15 during the 24-hour dash Advisors' Challenge to the
Linguist List.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our current total is $1350. Only $1150 in subscriber donations is still
needed to help win this 24-Hour Dash!

Remember that all donations are used to fund the graduate assistants who
work tirelessly to keep LINGUIST up and running!

Subject: How to donate...

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go
to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors
for the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on
how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

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.

Note: the donors' names are appended to every fund drive message sent
to the main list. You can also see the list of all donors by clicking
