Skype meeting 2

Group 5 met via Skype on Wednesday, October 27, 2010.  We discussed the MSU budget and came to the conclusion to create a more simple budget for our purposes.  We discussed using a budget of $100,000,000 rather than MSU's $378,000,000.  This new number is more manageable and we can easily go in to decide where potential cuts should be.  


Our goals for this week will be 
Ruth & Ronald:  Go through MSU's budget and decide which line items will be used in our budget.  Create a sample budget based on those line items. (to be sent via email to group as completed)


Cindy: will focus on greening the budget and writing a paragraph or two explaining why this is a good idea both financially and ethically and will give examples of budget greening used. (to be sent via email to group as completed)


I will create a loose template of a budget and input Ruth and Ronald's information.  I will also continue working on the report, blog, and coordinating meetings. 


*** we will all work hard this week to get some actual information down on the report and work toward finishing this bulk of this project.


We will meet next week via Skype.
