linguistlist.org>Dear Subscribers, To those who have donated to this year's fund drive, already we have raised a very respectable sum--over $12,000.00! All of us here at LINGUIST thank you very much for your support! To those of you who have not yet donated, this sum, however handsome, represents just one-fifth of the amount needed to keep the LINGUIST List running smoothly for another year. This means that, if we stopped the fund drive now, we could only fund one-fifth of our current crew! (Please see: http://www.linguistlist.org/crew2004.html ) Let's consider for a moment what the LINGUIST List would be like with only one-fifth of our current crew... Imagine: - Instead of posting fifteen topics daily, we could post maybe three. That would mean that instead of posting Alls (misc issues), Books, Calls, Conferences, Discussions, Dissertation Abstracts, FYIs, Jobs, Media issues, Qs and Summaries, Reviews, Journal Tables of Contents, Support issues, and Software issues, we could only post, say, Books, Discussions, and Support or, maybe, Jobs, TOCs, and FYIs. - Alternatively, instead of the "48-hour rule", we'd have the "240-hour rule". That would mean that instead of promising to post all of our messages within 48 hours of receiving them, we could only promise to post them within 10 days of receiving them! Given the same volume of messages we receive currently, we would get further and further behind to the point that the issues we offered would become stale and out-of-date! I know that LINGUIST List's subscribers value, and enjoy, all of our postings. Please donate and help keep LINGUIST List running! So far, your donations have provided enough for us to fund only three of our crew members--Gayathri Sriram, Michael Appleby, and Steve Moran! (Please see http://www.linguistlist.org/crew2004.html ) Over the next three days, I will post each of their personal letters; check back to read about each one of these crew members and all of the varied and interesting things they do here at LINGUIST. Then, check back throughout fund drive to read about all of our other crew members as the rest of the letters are posted. The student editors are the life of LINGUIST and we need your support! Sarah Murray Managing Editor ***************************************************************** We have already raised over $12,000! Please help us reach our target of $60,000.

linguistlist.org>This Year the LINGUIST List hope to raise $60,000. 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: http://www.linguistlist.org/donate.html You can also pledge right now and pay later, at: http://www.linguistlist.org/pledge.html For all information on donating, including information on how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: http://www.linguistlist.org/donation.html ALREADY PLEDGED? If you have already pledged to LINGUIST and would now like to pay by credit card, please go to: http://linguistlist.org/creditcard-general.html and select 'PAY PREVIOUS PLEDGE' as the Type of Payment from the dropdown list provided. 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!Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
