We have many dedicated Rotarians in District 7120 who put a tremendous amount of energy into making this one of the best Districts in the world. While we have many challenges ahead of us, these Rotarians play many roles to make us an effective team. Sure, we have our ups and downs like most organizations, but we can thank all of these individuals for sharing their skills and talents to make us the best that we can be.
Over the next few months, I hope to reintroduce you to many of these great team players. This month I am highlighting our Assistant Governors. There are now 14 Assistant Governors covering the 14 Areas in our District.

During the past year members of your DG Track** studied the configuration of each Area and with help and input from several of the Assistant Governors have decided to reconfigure some of the Areas to provide more efficient services to their clubs. During the current Rotary year (2018-2019) we will implement the following changes:
- The Wayland Club will move from Area 3 to Area 4
