Dear Fellow Linguists,

My name is Justin Petro, and I am a Master’s student at Eastern Michigan
University who has been working at LINGUIST List for the past three years.
During this time I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many of our users
through my work on the Publications and Web Development teams, as well as
through the development of grant projects such as LEGO and RELISH.  Even if we
haven’t had the chance to become acquainted yet, I am certain that my work has
most assuredly had an impact on you as a LINGUIST List user, and I’m very
proud to be able to contribute to such a vital and important community of
scholars.

In order to make sure that I and the rest of the crew here are able to
continue providing the services that linguists like you depend on, we need
your support.  Donate today:

LINGUIST List is not only an important resource for scholars and students of
all levels in the discipline, it is also a crucial training ground for
students like myself.  LINGUIST List has been directly responsible for my
professional development in areas such as editing, correspondence, technology,
and programming, in addition to providing tuition and financial assistance
towards my Master’s degree in linguistics. This dedication to training the
future experts in the field is perhaps the greatest contribution LINGUIST List
has made to the discipline. I highly urge you to donate today and ensure that
we can continue to work for you and for the linguistics community as a whole:

Gratefully yours,

Justin Petro
Publications Manager

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!
