Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

I am the graduate assistant to the LINGUIST List Review 
Editors Team, which is basically a University of Wisconsin-
Madison extension to the Eastern Michigan University-based 
LINGUIST List.  

I assist the very busy reviews team with maintaining records 
of LINGUIST List reviewers, contacting publishers to obtain 
review copies, and processing/formating incoming reviews. I 
try to make sure that our day-to-day reviews operation runs 
as smoothly as possible. To keep that operation available to 
our list of 25,000 subscribers, please consider donating at 
the link below:

I am originally from Regensburg, Germany, and after I obtained 
an MA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I 
started working towards my PhD in English Language and 
Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Because 
of your donations in support of LINGUIST List, I get to peek 
behind the curtain and see what all is involved in keeping up 
just one part of a vast linguistics network. It is exciting and 
rewarding to interact with the larger community of linguists 
and publishers around the world on a daily basis.

During a workshop at EMU, I got to know the rest of the LINGUIST 
List crew, and I'm proud to be part of such a lively, energetic, 
visionary and outstanding team of (aspiring) linguists. I would 
like to thank all of you who have contributed to LINGUIST in the 
past and who are contributing now, because you help us to keep 
this free service going, and to make it even better. 

Thank you for your support! Your donation is what enables LINGUIST 
to continue working on its mission. If you have not donated yet, 
please contribute to keep LINGUIST alive and well at:

The LINGUIST List 

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. 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 Fund 
Drive 2011 site!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

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!
