Subject: Put Fund Drive 2007 to Bed 

Dear Colleagues,

It isn't often that the LINGUIST List Advisory Board is at a loss for
words, but at this point we have been brought close to speechless in
gratitude as a result of the response to our challenge to all of you -
you were generous and speedily so!  Many, many thanks!

But we are still concerned about the needs of the LINGUIST List and
are now issuing a new challenge.  The Advisory Board will contribute
another $1000 if, by Thursday 1 pm EST, you contribute $5000.  Not
only will that add to the pot, but it will bring us to the end of the
fund drive - who could resist that?

This is a busy time of year for most of us in academia and we know
that getting even one pressure to disappear is a good thing.  So,
please meet this new challenge with the enthusiasm with which you met
the one that just ended: LET'S PUT THE FUND DRIVE TO BED FOR 2007.
We'll all be grateful, and we'll be assured of another year of the
wonderful professional support we receive from LINGUIST List.

Many thanks from the entire Advisory Board,
Margaret Winters

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.

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!
