Dear LINGUIST Subscribers, We are positively thrilled to announce that this year's fund drive has reached its goal with $35,205 in subscriber donations. We cannot thank you all enough for your contributions! The linguist list succeeds only because you, our subscribers, support us so generously. The vast majority of your donations go directly towards paying our student editors, without whom we could never keep going! As we've mentioned in our previous letters to you, our student editors not only provide you with the LINGUIST list and our variety of services, they also, with your support, go on to successful careers in linguistics and computer science. While our fund drive is officially over, and we have reached our official goal, we would like to encourage those of you who have not yet pledged or donated to still do so. Each year the services we provide you are enhanced or expanded, and each year the costs of running the list grow exponentially. Your money never goes to waste and can only improve the list. In some past years we've had surprise expenses (such as the emergency need for new computer equipment), so we appreciate having some cushion of financial safety. We are happy to take your tax deductable donation at any time during the year. There are three convenient methods by which you can make your donation to LINGUIST. And, if you contribute $30 or more, we'll send you a T-shirt or sweatshirt as a token of our appreciation. Please see our Fund Drive page for styles, sizes, donation categories, and photos: http://linguistlist.org/funddrive.html You can donate via our secure credit card form at: http://linguistlist.org/donation-form.html or by sending your check to: The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund Dept. of English Eastern Michigan U. Ypsilanti, MI USA 48197 If you like, you can hit "Reply" and send us your pledge by email, prior to sending your check. Then we will be able to list you immediately as one of our donors. Please remember to include your snail-mail address, along with your size preference, if you would like to receive a LINGUIST shirt. Thank you so all so much for your continued generous support!
