Dear Subscribers,
As The LINGUIST List crew prepares to launch our annual Fund Drive, we ask for your help in making this year's effort a success. To encourage contributions to Fund Drive 2009, we would like to offer interesting and relevant prizes - and we are asking you, our subscribers, to help our efforts by donating these prize materials.
We understand that in these difficult and uncertain economic times, many readers may not be able to contribute directly to our fund raising efforts. In years past, only a small percentage of our subscribers have donated during our annual Fund Drive. It is our hope that this year a greater number of readers contribute, helping to ensure the survival of LINGUIST while reducing this financial burden of a few donors. The prize materials we offer are a critical element of our annual Fund Drive - they provide an incentive to those who may not otherwise contribute.
Prizes are awarded to winners of puzzles, games, and the random drawings we run throughout our Fund Drive. They are also offered as gifts to donors contributing over a certain amount. If you have published a book, are on the editorial board of a journal, or secretly create clever linguistics or language related merchandise in your spare time, we ask that you help our efforts by donating these items as LINGUIST List Fund Drive 2009 prizes!
Your donation will help LINGUIST raise the funds necessary to continue our free services for another year. You will also receive publicity and recognition as your prize is distributed to contributors and your name is included in a list of our Prize Donors, a feature included in our Fund Drive 2009 emails and on our Fund Drive website pages.
If you would like to donate a prize to help our Fund Drive 2009 efforts, please notify Maria Moreno-Rollins marialinguistlist.org by Friday, February 27. Maria will email instructions on how to proceed based on the type and quantity of prizes you wish to donate.
The LINGUIST List relies on your help to keep our free, public services operational. Now more than ever, please consider donating a prize and letting others know they can do the same. Your fellow linguists will thank you!
We look forward to your responses.
Sincerely, The LINGUIST List Crew
