Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Hello, my name is Kristen Dunkinson. I began working at 
LINGUIST List during the summer but in my short time here 
I feel that I have learned much. I currently work on the 
Endangered Languages Catalog (ELCat) project which has helped 
me to refine my research skills and has given me a better 
understanding of how project planning and project management 
are handled. I am also an editor for the job announcement posts 
on the LINGUIST List. 

In my time working with our subscribers I have seen exactly how 
important the services we provide are to the linguistics 
community. Not only do our editorial posts offer a wealth 
of knowledge on various topics but our research projects 
create helpful tools that anyone can use. From creating 
language maps with LL-MAP (http://www.llmap.org/), 
to learning about best practices with EMELD 
(http://emeld.org/index.cfm), LINGUIST List has a lot to offer. 

Please support LINGUIST today:

The LINGUIST List provides the linguistics community around 
the world with vital information and tools as well as providing 
a wonderful learning environment for students.  Students come 
out of the LINGUIST List prepared to be productive members in 
their field and ready for the next phase of their lives.  

For all of these reasons I would ask that you please donate today:     
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Your donations make it possible for us to maintain the amount 
of valuable information we host and distribute and allow us to 
fund student involvement. 

Every donation counts, even $5 or $10 helps make the work that
we do possible. No matter the amount your donation is a vital 
part of what makes LINGUIST List great.

Best regards,

Kristen L. Dunkinson
LINGUIST List Jobs Editor

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!
