Region 1 | Eastern North America | Fund Drive 2014 

Speaking of fuel, how does the LINGUIST List crew stay nourished? Ypsilanti,
hometown of the List, features many coffee shops and cafes, a favorite being
Ugly Mug Cafe, Roastery, and Sweetwaters.

The crew also likes to grab a bite to eat at Dalat, a Vietnamese restaurant
located in downtown Ypsilanti.

When the day's work is done, some LINGUIST Listers head to Corner Brewery.
Corner is the staff's favorite after-hours hangout place. From awesome
craft-brewed beverages to a plethora of tasty treats, from the beautiful beer
garden to a wide array of board games, Corner has something for everyone.

Eastern North America is home to many linguistic institutes, universities, and
research organizations, including (but not limited to):

- Linguistic Data Consortium: The LDC is an open consortium of universities,
companies, and government research labs. It creates, collects, and distributes
speech and text databases, lexicons, and other resources for research and
development purposes.

LSA's 88th Annual Meeting was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Linguistic Society of America: The LSA helps support and disseminate
linguistic scholarship both to professional linguists and to the general
public.

The Institute was on the University of Michigan's campus this past summer
- LSA Linguistic Institute: The Institute strives to create an environment
that facilitates the exchange of ideas and advancement of linguistics and that
promotes collaboration across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

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.
