Last week's meeting went great, thank you to all who attended. A lot of great information and ideas were laid out on the table. As of right now we have a balance of $672 in our account and due to the advance we got for two quarters we are only looking at receiving $224 after April for the last two quarters of 2011.

Some of those events include the following:•Breakfast Burritos: 17 February 2011, AN Cowan is the point of contact. See next page for details. •BBQ: 19 April 2011 (OS1 and YN3 Poole will be doing a pre-sale survey and collections for the breakfast burritos and BBQ).

National Defense Authorization Act of 2011, which includes a provision to offer the "TRICARE Young Adult" program opens TRICARE coverage for adult dependents up to age 26. Unfortunately, the new TYA program comes with a large price tag. Some estimates show the annual premium could go as high as $2,400 or $200 a month. By comparison, Health and Human Services estimates that under that Health Care Reform Act civilian families will see an increase in annual premiums of somewhere between $62 to $149 a year.
