Dear Subscribers,

Thank you so much for your support of the LINGUIST List!

One of my responsibilities at LINGUIST is the editing of
Ask-a-Linguist.  Ask-a-Linguist is a non-academic, family-friendly
linguistic service that makes it possible for everyone from
professional linguists to 'ordinary people' with questions of a
linguistic nature to have their questions seriously considered.  We
have a distinguished panel of over 50 professional linguists who daily
address questions from all linguistic disciplines.  (They deserve a
HUGE round of applause!)  We are currently making some changes to
Ask-a-Linguist to make it even more user-friendly, enjoyable, and
efficient.

On a personal note, I am a student at Wayne State University.  I am
working on an MA in linguistics (Language Variation and Change).  I
have been working with LINGUIST for a year and a half, and will
forever be indebted for the experience I have gained, the support I
have received, and the people I have had the opportunity to meet and
with whom I have become friends.  Aside from my studies and my work
with LINGUIST, I am the proud mother of the oldest Baby Linguist
T-Shirt model, wife to a supremely supportive husband, and a lover of
world travel and different cultures.

Once again, thank you so much for supporting the LINGUIST List and its
crew!

Sincerely,
Renee Galvis

Dear Subscribers,

  Thank you so much for your support!  As I am sure you have been
reading throughout the fund drive, each of your dollars goes to
support graduate students as well as the up-keep and development of
the website.  I don't know about you, but when I am giving money to
people, I like to know where my money is going.  Therefore, since I am
one of the recipients of your support, I want to tell you a little bit
about myself.
	
  I have been working with LINGUIST for a year and a half, and during
that time my duties have primarily been posting Calls, Conferences,
and managing Ask-a-Linguist; however, I am currently working with
Ask-a-Linguist and posting Queries.  I am a graduate student at Wayne
State University - working on an MA in linguistics (Language Variation
and Change).  Outside of academia, I am the mother of a beautiful and
kind 14 month-old son.  (He just happens to be one of the illustrious
Baby Linguist t-shirt models - the biggest one!)  In my free time
(which I have very little of), I enjoy traveling with my husband and
son, scrapbooking, gardening, jogging, meeting new people & learning
about new cultures...  Fun! Fun!  Since I am currently 3 classes and a
master's essay away from graduation, I really have little time for
these things, but I do manage to squeeze a little of it in!  Work hard
- play hard!
	
  Again, thank you for your support of LINGUIST, and the support you
have given me.
	
Sincerely,
Renee Galvis

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.
