Dear LINGUIST List subscribers,

As a second year master's student in linguistics at Eastern Michigan 
University, I know that I am only here because of generous donations 
that you have made in the past. Please consider donating again so that 
students such as myself can continue to pursue their studies while 
offering the latest resources in linguistics:

I began at LINGUIST as an intern in May 2009, thinking that I would 
only be in Ypsilanti, Michigan for 3 to 4 months and yet here I am in 
2011 as a graduate student supported by the LINGUIST community. I never 
foresaw that I would stay at Eastern Michigan University as a graduate 
student, work on LINGUIST projects such as MultiTree, attend and organize 
linguistics workshops and conferences, and correspond with linguists from 
all over the world. The opportunities that we receive here will help us 
go on to make contributions in our field and beyond. 

I am the Queries and Summaries editor, two areas which I believe 
exemplify the community that we have on The LINGUIST List. Queries 
is an incredible area where readers can help cultivate new avenues of 
research by sharing the knowledge and insight they possess. Not only 
does this information benefit the Query submitters, but the suggestions, 
resources, and advice provided are also given back to the rest of 
the community through our Summary submissions. 

I'm always thrilled to see subscribers responding to Query submissions 
and when a Summary is submitted. I genuinely believe this is something 
special and that you are not likely to see this sort of community 
involvement elsewhere.

If you donate today, you will ensure that such services for the community 
will continue, as well as support the work of students like myself. I 
greatly appreciate any donations that ensure more students will have the 
same opportunities that I had these last two years:

Thank you so much for your generosity!

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!
