Put on your poetry caps, flex your wit muscles, and prepare to compete against
your fellow linguists in the 2012 Limerick Competition!!

Here's how it works:

-Every Friday, we'll also announce the winner of the previous week's batch of
limericks. The winners of each week will go on to the FINAL ROUND towards the
end of Fund Drive.

-We'll be awarding prizes to each week's winners, plus a big prize to the
overall winner of the Final Round! And let's not forget the pride you'll feel
at having your limerick marked "WINNER" in big red text, in full view of
thousands of linguists worldwide.

And just to get your poetry wheel in motion, 
we'll give you a teaser from the crew!:

There was a young listserv named LINGUIST List,
whose GAs did study and reminisce
of days free from worry.
The future seems blurry!
But donations ensure that they will persist.

-The LINGUIST Crew

keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming
year.

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!
