Book Club Problem

Tricia, Kelly, Sasha, and Meredith started a book club that will meet once a month.  Each month, one person hosts the party and another person brings the snacks.  The host gets to pick the book and one of the other three has to bring the snacks.  The responsibility of the host and the provider of snacks changes every month.  How many months will it take until there has been every possible combination of host and snack provider? 

Remember to clearly show work or explain your answer.
