LINGUIST List 23.1666
Sun Apr 01 2012 Why this has to stop! A letter from LINGUIST Advisor Maggie Winters Editor for this issue: Matthew Lahrman <mattlinguistlist.org>
Date: 01-Apr-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: Please help us meet our goal in the Advisors' Challenge and end Fund Drive! E-mail this message to a friend Dear Friends and Colleagues, I've been sitting here this morning (at least morning in the eastern USA) catching up with LINGUIST. Unfortunately, the fund drive is a major distraction - I find I cannot concentrate on calls, conferences, book notices, and all the other important services LINGUIST provides, because I am distracted by the fund drive mailings. This is not a good way -- especially for those of us struggling to keep up when our university jobs are not directly in Linguistics -- to manage our professional/scholarly lives. So, please give generously to end the fund drive today so that all of us can go back to doing Linguistics. https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Cheers, Maggie 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
