LINE ITEM BUDGET

Generally the budget for this operation would fall with in the range of $3,500 but the cost may vary considerably based on the volunteer efforts, existing resources, cost of writers, time spend on design and layout work.  In prior editions ISOJI did most of the layout work which is energy and time consuming. Hence, accuracy and completeness became a challenge.  This has to be done with rigorous attention to content and  grammatical accuracy. Thus the budgeting process will be part of the first editorial team meeting.

Several sponsors have already signed on:

ISOJI, CSD, and the CDC and we will be asking interested organization for donations.
