Dear LINGUIST List Supporters,

Here's an update on donations from the Pacific region toward 
LINGUIST List's 2011 fund drive.

The University of Melbourne, Australia, is currently in the 
lead with $250 donated thus far. 
The first and second runners-up are Monash University ($50) 
and Macquarie University($30).

You might think the matter has been decided, but not so fast.... 
It's unlikely that Sydney, the largest and most populous city 
in Australia will allow Victoria, the second most populous city 
to usurp its position. Macquarie can still take over from 
Melbourne; and with additional donations from other universities 
in Sydney the tables could change in a matter of seconds.

If you would like Sydney to take over from Melbourne or for 
Melbourne to maintain her current position, you can ensure 
that your wishes come true by donating at:

Thank you for your support!

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.

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

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!
