We would like to start this week with an update on the Fund Drive 2006. 

So far we have raised $15,768, and we are $37,164 away from our goal. This is a great start!
Dear Subscribers, you do love us! If you enjoy your time on our cruise ship, please make a 
donation to keep us afloat. To donate now, visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

This week we are featuring a new performance by Terry the Singing Lumberjack, who will be 
presenting another version of our Fund Drive song. We invite all of you to add to the
song, and next week we'll replace some of the current song lyrics with the best subscriber 
submissions! The deadline for these submissions is April 2nd.

If you donate $1000 or more, Terry will cut a special CD containing your own creative 
submissions, and LINGUIST List will mail it directly to you! So submit your donation and 
send us your version of the song by April 14th to receive this special CD from Terry. You can 
do all this on our cruise page:

http://linguistlist.org/cruise.html

The terrific LEXICON: Game without Rules is on right now. See how far you can get. Winners 
receive fabulous prizes from our publishers and subscribers!

http://linguistlist.org/cruise.html

As more of you donate, we will be able to show more Hometown Tours of other LINGUIST crew 
members. We will also have more linguists sharing their stories. For all this, visit:

Have a wonderful week!

Subject: Editor Susan Hooyenga on E-MELD 

	

It was the opportunity to work on the E-MELD (Electronic Metastructure for Endangered 
Languages Data) project that drew me to LINGUIST List.  Before coming here, I received an 
MS in Information at the University of Michigan, with a specialization in Archives and 
Records Management.  While I was in that program, I heard about E-MELD, which is concerned 
with the best ways to digitally preserve language documentation and support collaboration 
among linguistic archives.  This fit my interests so perfectly that I found myself signing 
up for two more years of school.  I still intend to be an archivist, but ideally I'd like 
to work with linguistic documents, whether it's a lexicon on paper, a narrative on a casette 
tape, or a database of interlinear glossed text.  Working here during the final two years 
of the E-MELD project has enabled me to gain a linguistics degreee while applying my archival 
background to a project that matters to me.  

However, I've done a lot more than just work on E-MELD.  For a year and a half I was the editor 
for Ask-a-Linguist, which gave me an opportunity to see exactly what the general public 
finds interesting about language, and how little they know about what we do!  I've gained 
experience with web design, XML, Protégé, digital audio, and organizing a 
conference.  One of the reasons I love my work here is that instead of using linguistics to 
make computers run better (a worthwhile goal, but not what I'm interested in), we're using 
computers to serve linguistics. 

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work at LINGUIST List, and your generous contributions 
are what make it possible.  If you haven't donated yet, please do so soon, and remember that 
even the smallest amounts help!

Susan Hooyenga

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go to help keep the 
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2006 
LINGUIST List Cruise 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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
