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

Wow--what an amazing response to the Advisors' Challenge! In just over
24 hours, you have donated more than $7,000. It looks like this
Challenge is going to be a resounding success. HOWEVER, there is still
$1,000 left to go to ensure that the Advisors will donate their
$2,000. If you have been thinking about donating, please do so today
to help us win the Advisors' Challenge!

Thanks to your generosity, we are now less than $10,000 away from our
2007 Fund Drive goal of $55,000! Donate now to help end Fund Drive
this week.

Sincerely,
-The Grateful 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:

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!
