Subject: Dr. Arendse Bernth on Clicking



Have you clicked yet?  No, I'm not talking of learning a new language!
I'm talking about clicking on "Donate" in the upper left corner of
www.linguistlist.org.  But isn't LINGUIST List free?  Yes, SUBSCRIPTIONS
are free, but RUNNING the list is not.  And unfortunately the
contributions from Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State University
and various publishers etc are not enough to cover the expenses.  So
donations from those subscribers who can afford it are appreciated.  And
it doesn't have to be much.  Even a cup of coffee's worth of money will
make a difference.

It's not too late to click.  Please do.

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
