I have a content type called Board Minutes. This content type allows the admin to upload a pdf of Board Minutes document and specify what the date of the meeting the minutes are from.

I have also created a vocabulary for this content type - the terms being the fiscal year from which the meeting happened. Thus the terms are: 2008-2009, 2007-2008, 2006-2007, 2005-2006, etc. I assign the term to the node so that i can group the nodes by their fiscal year in a view.

Basically I want the page to look like this page except using Views. This page is just plain html added to the page.

Do i create a View using blocks? One block filtered by fiscal year term (ex: 2008-2009) If so, how do i do that?
Do I create a view with multiple blocks in that view with each filter specific to the fiscal year term I want to show? How do i create multiple blocks that only get pulled into one page on the entire site? How do I get the term to be the header for each specific grouping?

or do i do this by theme-ing a view?

thanks for any assistance!

Haven't tried this but maybe a view of month/year grouped by fiscal year. There is a grouping option under 'style'. I think it will show all the month/years grouped by fiscal year:

2008-2009
jan 2009
feb 2009
mar 2009

2007-2008
jan 2008
feb 2008
mar 2008

etc.
