President Fred Brown called the meet- three members attending. Patsy Watson highlighted that the pre-
vious weeks speaker donated a commemora-tive NFL coin which will be raffled off with tick-ets going for $5. Please see Patsy to pur-chase a ticket. Proceeds go to our Club's Foundation.
Andy Carothers announced speaker Tom George, Partner GBE&W and his topic: “The New Healthcare Laws.” [Tom George, 214-619-5205, Email: tgeorge@imsagencies. com]• The law is currently 2,700 pages with 29,000 pages of guidance and clarifications.• Uniform Coverage Summaries (SBC). Fed-eral government mandates the exact format, language and details of the plan. Enrollment began after 9/23/12.• Medicare Tax Increase. Beginning January 1, 2013 the Medicare tax will increase from 1.45% to 2.35% for those making more than $200K (as an individual) or $250K for a family.• Flexible spending accounts are limited to $2,500 as the maximum withholding, and in-crease annually by cost of living adjustment.• W-2 Reporting. In 2013 all employers with W2 employees have to report all medical ex-penses of each employee. This was a huge burden for companies and fortunately it was changed it those employers with greater than 250 W2 employees. No tax is collected on this; only for informational purposes.• State Exchange Notification. Employers need to communicate with employees about the future availability of a health insurance exchange in their state vs. other options available. The original March 1 date has been delayed to likely October 2013.• Patient centered outcomes (cont. on pg. 3)
ing to order. Jim Evans gave the invocation, and asked that we re-member in our prayers Joe Walk-er in hospice care and who is re-

He recognized PP Rod Pirtle and his wife Beth PP Rod recognized their daughter Dottie as a
Paul Harris Fellow. PP Greg also recognized Lynn Surls as a second level PHF.
Dr. Michael Rainwater provided an up-date on Dentistry With A Heart. Our Rotary is the largest support of this event, and last year Rotary donated $50,000 of services to this event. Volunteers are still needed at HP Pres-byterian Church for greeting and helping pa-tients through the process.
PP Ley Waggoner mentioned the Peace Symposium held last Saturday at SMU School of Conflict Resolution, and we had

The price of greatness is responsibi-lity. ~ Sir Winston ChurchillCharacter - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs. ~ Joan DidionI think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsi-bility that comes with his freedom.
~ Bob DylanAction springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
~ G . M . Trevelyan
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

For Valentines Day – What Does Love Mean?♥ When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. - Billy, age 4
♥ Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other. - Karl, age 6♥ Love is what makes you smile when you're
tired. - Terri, age 4♥ Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. - Bobby, age 7
