 Region 1 | Eastern North America | Fund Drive 2014

Welcome to TraveLING, our Around the World Fund Drive! Our students have put
in a lot of hours this past year, so we'd like to ask our readers for help in
sending them on a tour of our planet.

Along their journey, they'll meet local linguists, take in the sights, and
host a wide array of contests and games for you to participate in (and win
fantastic prizes!).

To help them get started and fuel the first leg of their journey, donate now!

https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Before we head out, we'd like to take you on a tour of the LINGUIST List
offices.

Generally speaking, our office operates like a normal office.

However, the LINGUIST List is run by linguists, for linguists. The LINGUIST
List itself is housed within Eastern Michigan University's Cooper Building, a
lovely little gem located off-off-off-campus, right next to the football
stadium.

The LINGUIST List currently employs 7 full-time staff, 4 part-time staff, and
9 graduate assistants. Additionally, 4 brave souls are currently volunteering
at the LINGUIST List, making a grand total of 24 people that venture in to
post your submissions and work on linguistic projects.

Each crew member strives to best meet your needs as both a subscriber and
website user. If you didn't want a LINGUIST List, we wouldn't be here. It's
only because of you that we're able to take you on this fun-filled journey
around the world.

Thank you!

To jump ahead to our next destination, donate today!

While our plane refuels, we're going to explore some of what Eastern North
America has to offer. You'll meet linguists who are either from this region or
who work in this region, and you'll travel with us on day trips to local
sights. Stay tuned for details!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $75,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

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 donate by check, money order, PayPal or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation/

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!
