FROM 277th FRSA: Fall is here and so are

cooler temps.. Enjoy! The upcoming changes of

the seasons. The FRSA Flash is a bi-weekly post-

ing .

WE ALL NEED RESILIENCE!!!

THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER !!!

PAGE 2 FRSA FLASH

Every situation can become an opportunity when properly perceived. There are opportunities

all around us. Sometimes these opportunities are disguised as positive or negative circum-

stances. When a person takes hold of these circumstances, they can be turned around and

used as an opportunity.

A man named, Joe Resnick, grabbed hold of a negative situation. He was a television repair-

man. The antennas he used to repair TVs came in separate pieces. When he was ready to in-

stall them, it seemed a piece was always missing. Joe determined to create something bet-

ter.

After spending a week locked in a chicken shed, he created a solution for his problem. Res-

nick designed an antenna, tested it and it worked. Within three years the company did a mil-

lion dollars' worth of business. His new company was called Channel Master. His negative

situation became the vehicle for a powerful opportunity.

What situation are you facing? Is there a hidden opportunity that you have not discovered?

Find a still place. Let faith arise. Use your situation to help you create a great opportunity for

your future!

CHOICE!!!

READY ?

YOU

ARE

THE

KEY!

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
