Communications ADSOs will be invited to our second Zoom meeting, and Surface ADSOs will be invited to our third meeting. You might ask why. All three teams are large, and good communication among all the mov ers and shakers in Response is essential to helping achieve the goals of District 7 as set out by COMO John Holmes, Martin Goodwin, and the rest of our District Captains.

I am sure that our coxswains and crew training team will be up to the challenges of new requirements.
As you probably know, the Auxiliary is not as large as we once were. We want to grow back more vital than ever. I want to mention something about our air team and District Staff Officers: Wow, what a team! The experience and ability of the men and women I met are amazing! I have flown with AUXAIR before, and the Coast Guard is very lucky to have their support!
Our next meeting includes the Communications team from all of District 7. I have listened to some of their
As most of you know, District 7 will get a new Director of Auxiliary and a new Operations Training Officer this summer. We look forward to working with them and helping them come up to speed with the largest District in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary! Ω
