Subject:  A Personal Message from Dick Hudson

Dick Hudson is an Advisor on the LINGUIST List Advisory Board; please
take a moment to read his personal message.

Dear Linguists,

How many restaurants or email lists offer the services you get at the
LINGUIST List?

a. Moderation - just think what you *don't* see, and thank the staff
for filtering it out - political tracts, flaming, etc.

b. Digestion - different packages to suit different appetites, and
every item carefully listed on the menu; deletion has never been so
easy.

c. Retention - in case you're that way inclined, relax. They do it for
you.  You  don't need to clog up your  system with old  messages when
they're all archived centrally.

d. Information - the server knows everything you want to know about
linguistics.

And when did you last go to a restaurant without paying for it?

Dear Linguists,

On LINGUIST, we like to thank the people who support us - and what
better way to show our deepest gratitude than to send you a free gift!

And this year is no exception. We have some great gifts for you to
choose from; if you would like to see some photos of our crew
modelling these highly fasionable items, visit:

http://linguistlist.org/premiums.html

This year, because we have a Food and Cooking theme for the fund
drive, we have published Volume 1 of The LINGUIST List Cookbook, and
we have also produced a matching apron.

The complete list of gifts available this year is:

The LINGUIST List Cookbook
The LINGUIST List Cook Apron
Cookbook and Apron Combo
Baby T-shirt
T-Shirt - available in S, M, L and X-L
Tote Bag

Please help us with our fund drive and make a donation, we will send
you one of these lovely gifts if you do.


And on a connected note, here's a copy of a letter we received from
one of our donors. Rebecca was one of a 'small group' who nagged us
about not having gifts in size small - her support certainly isn't
small and we are glad to offer a wider range of sizes. Thank you for
allowing us to print this Rebecca.

**************

Dear Friends,

Enclosed is my check for $100 toward the maintenance of the List.

Please send me one of the "tote bags" Gosh, I don't like the name of
these things! Wonder how this entered the language? Where I come from,
we tote things, but we don't call what we do it with a "tote bag"!! Oh
well, whatever they are, they are handy, and the LL's one is very
attractive!

Keep up the good work.

A long-time fan.

Becky
(Rebecca Larche Moreton)

P.S. I love my size "small" t-shirt from last year, and am very much
gratified to notice that y'all are now offering smalls to everybody -
don't let anybody say that one person's voice can't make an effect!

**************************************************************

This year we need to raise $50,000 to keep LINGUIST alive. So far we
have raised $13,556.33 which is really good - but we still have a
long way to go. Please make a donation; every little helps.

To donate now using our secure web form, visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

For instructions on how to donate, or how to make a pledge now and pay
later, see the last massage in this issue or visit:

Thank you for keeping LINGUIST alive.

Subject:  How to Donate to LINGUIST and Contributors So Far

This year we hope to raise $50,000 to support the students who work on
LINGUIST List and keep the list running. Thank you from all the crew
for your support.

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 scheme, 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
scheme.

payment methods: secure credit card form, check, or wire transfer.
