FROM 277th FRSA: Summer is slowly moving

forward into Fall. Enjoy! The upcoming

changes of the seasons. The FRSA Flash is a bi-

weekly posting .

WE ALL NEED RESILIENCE!!!

THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER !!!

PAGE 2 FRSA FLASH

Kindness is the medicine needed in today's world. People long for the healing power of words that

sooth wounds and bring joy. Genuine care and concern can change the atmosphere around you.

Kind words can be short and easy to understand. Yet, these words are powerful enough to cause

misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.

Someone once said the following: "Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power that

seems to be beyond natural causes, as though they were some angel's song which had lost its way

and come back to earth."

Have you shown kindness today? Have your words become music in the ears of the hearer? Be will-

ing to love people more than they deserve. Overlook their slights. Keep reaching out with kind

words. You will find yourself being made kind by being kind!

FEE INCREASES and PROGRAM CHANGES

Dear Valued Customer,

As we have kept you apprised over the past two years, we are moving towards Department of

Defense standardized rate fees. This October is the final incremental phase for Fort Drum to reach

Army standard. Department of Defense will then implement equitable rates throughout the Armed

Forces.

In addition to Department of the Army forecasted rate fee increases, the following Deployment

Support Service Programs are eliminated 1 October 2012:

X 20% fee reduction for all Child Development Services programs

X Youth Sports fee credit up to $100 per deployment cycle per child/youth.

X SKIES Unlimited Instructional Class fee credit up to $300 per deployment cycle per child/youth.

X $2.00 Hourly Care fee beyond the 16 free respite child care hours.

Those currently deployed as of 1 October 2012 are grandfathered and will continue to receive de-

ployment support services they are currently receiving.

Should you have any questions on the program impact as it effects your Family, please inquire at

the front desk or by calling Parent Central Services at 772-8675.

Thanking you for your cooperation and understanding
