Here is the link for the FAD page:

Normally we put the proposed budget in the wiki page for the FAD 
itself.  I'd really like us to stay in the habit of doing that, so we 
have the information as a point of reference say, next year, or the year 
after, for "what we spent and how we spent it."

Is the media *just* for this event?  I'm curious about whether or not we 
seem to be going towards a model where we're ordering media specifically 
for events, and if we need to start just thinking about ordering more 
media in bulk to save money, rather than having lots of special orders.
