Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

My name is Andrew Lamont. I'm a student editor at the LINGUIST List. I came to
the LINGUIST List last January to volunteer on LL-MAP and MultiTree. Prior to
this exposure, I had only dreamt of such a central hub of linguistic resources
as accessible and open as these. As I began delving deeper into the treasure
trove of the LINGUIST List, I came to realize what an incredible resource our
community has.

The time I spend supporting the LINGUIST List has been one of the most
valuable experiences of my working life as a tyro linguist. Not only am I
working towards goals shared by the entire community, but my time here enables
me to pursue graduate studies, pursuing my own academic goals. Like many of
you, I depend on the LINGUIST List.

Here in the office, I work on announcements of publications, act as a listserv
administrator, and run the tech team. Like everyone else here who works hard
to keep the LINGUIST List running smoothly, I know the LINGUIST List depends
on me.

The LINGUIST List also depends on our subscribers for their support. While we
in the office keep everything running smoothly, you keep everything running. I
hope you'll take the time to consider supporting this vital resource we all
benefit from.

make a donation.

Thank You,

Andrew Lamont

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!
