Date: 23-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Special SpecGram Prize for the Weekend E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, It's a beautiful day filled with fun limericks, the weekend is approaching, and you've just gotten a brilliant story from SpecGram. What more could you want from a Friday? How about more exciting prizes? So we've released Many Morphologies as our prize today. But in honor of the SpecGram story, there will also be a special weekend prize! Not only has SpecGram taken the time to write a hilarious piece for our story, the mastermind behind Speculative Grammarian, Trey Jones, has generously donated 25 SpecGram magnets as a prize... and the winners can pick the design of their choice! http://specgram.com/merch/ If you are a fan of SpecGram, or find the SpecGram pictures entertaining, this should be STRONG incentive to donate. Why? The odds are in your favor! Higher number of prizes and lower numbers of weekend donors means that should you donate, your chances of winning are quite high. In fact, you may even be guaranteed a prize! That's some pretty nice math. Once again, anyone who donates is eligible for this fun prize, so make the weekend a little more fun and pick up some SpecGram swag by donating: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Have a great weekend! The LINGUIST List Crew This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year. See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2012 site! http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2012/ There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST! You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit: http://linguistlist.org/donation/ 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! Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
