Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Every year, many of you use our website to gain vital and 
interesting news about the latest developments in the field. 
Many of you use this news to find great new books or read 
new articles; professors and students alike, you have used the 
LINGUIST List to stimulate new ideas and keep up with research 
related to areas of your expertise. And we provide all but a 
few of our services absolutely free of charge.

As project coordinator here, I have been part of all facets of 
the LINGUIST List and I know how much effort is put into 
providing services for the linguistic community. Another detail 
I've noticed is that those who participate in our Fund Drive 
tend to already know this and tell others about it. For those of 
you haven't yet contributed but who use LINGUIST List regularly, 
think about the benefits that it has brought to your 
professional life or academic career. I would hazard to guess 
that the total amount this has contributed to your life, your 
career, and your intellect growth would be worth a donation 
of $15, $30, or even $50?

While many institutions provide crucial research in a specific 
area of expertise, few can boast that they have made direct 
contributions to bringing scholars and information together and 
allowing them to share and publicize their ideas. This is 
essentially what we do, and without your support we cannot 
continue to maintain the high level of service that you 
have grown accustomed to.

For the price of a meal out or coffee for a week you can help us
continue to provide crucial services for the discipline of 
linguistics, services which I haven't found available for any 
other academic discipline out there. Please donate $20 or $30 
today to help ensure that you can continue to enjoy the 
announcements, book reviews, conferences, and many other 
services that we provide.

Gratefully,

Matt Lahrman
Project Coordinator

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!
