Subject: Help LINGUIST Raise an Extra $2000 in the Advisors' Challenge 
 
Dear Linguists,

Meet the Advisors' Challenge: help us raise $8,000 in donations in the
next 48 hours, and our advisors will contribute $2,000 of their own
money for LINGUIST!
 
The LINGUIST List Advisory Panel is a group of 31 linguists from
around the world who advise LINGUIST on matters big and small.  The
Advisors have pledged to donate $2,000 of their own money to help
LINGUIST meet the 2007 Fund Drive goal of $55,000.  HOWEVER, they will
only contribute this money to our Fund Drive IF you, the subscribers,
can quadruple their offer.  Help us meet their challenge and bring the
Fund Drive to an early end!

Thanks to your generosity, you have already contributed $1030 today,
but we need another $970 by 12 pm EST to stay on track.  Please donate
right now at http://linguistlist.org/donate to help make our goal!

There are now only 38 hours to go in the Advisors' Challenge
... DONATE NOW and help end Fund Drive early!  Working together as a
group, dear subscribers, this goal is within your reach.  It only
requires that two people each donate $100 per hour during the
Challenge.  And by donating now, The LINGUIST List earns 25% extra on
your donation through the Advisors' Challenge.

Meet the Advisors' Challenge...End Fund Drive...DONATE NOW!

With many thanks,
-The LINGUIST Crew

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go
to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors
for the coming year.

Fund Drive 2007 LINGUIST List Superhero Adventure for some Fund Drive
fun!

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!
