Dear Subscribers,

I came to The LINGUIST List in 2006, eager to begin graduate
studies and gain experience working in linguistics. My experience
has been far from disappointing! LINGUIST has supported my studies
throughout my time in the graduate program at Eastern Michigan
University and continues to provide professional experience that
cannot be matched elsewhere. Our office receives the latest updates
in the field, and the daily interaction with the students and
faculty in the office has made me feel at home in the program.

I edit book announcements and correspond with publishers to make
sure that LINGUIST announces the latest materials relevant to the
field. I've always enjoyed reading the summaries of these publications,
especially those which pertain to my favorite topics. LINGUIST has
also expanded my knowledge to include valuable skills in writing HTML,
editing text, and working with language maps.  I count myself lucky
to experience this type of education. I know that LINGUIST serves an
important role in the discipline, and it also benefits the student
staff that keeps it running. Please donate to help keep LINGUIST
operational:

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!
