Subject: Advisor's Challenge met, but $9,900 still needed to end Fund Drive


Dear Subscribers,

You really love us: You donated the $2,500 for the Advisors' Challenge
in a record time of just under 5 hours!

This means that the LINGUIST Advisors will be donating an additional
$1,500 (on top of the $2,500 they have already donated). $4,000 in
less than 5 hours is pretty amazing, so thank you *very* much to all
of you who have taken part in the Advisors' Challenge so far.

However, the 24-hour time period isn't up yet! We have a new challenge
for the remaining 18 hours. Can you double the Advisors' initial
$2,500?  Triple it? Quadruple it? Quintuple it? Show the Advisors how
much you love LINGUIST!

Remember, anyone who donates $15 or more in the 24 hour time period
will receive a full year subscription of eight issues to
_Multilingual_ magazine.

We still need $9,900 for LINGUIST List to meet the Fund Drive goal by
our target date of April 14, 2006.  So please donate now to help end
Fund Drive:
             http://www.linguistlist.org/donate.html

Thank you once again. It's as true now as it ever is: LINGUIST really
wouldn't be here without your generous support.

- Your Thankful LINGUIST Crew

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

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
