Realignment

Changes to simplify the Division L boundaries, this does not affect any clubs.

DIVISION L: Will be everything between the eastern District 22 boundary as set by Toastmasters International and the western Missouri state line. It will extend from the northern Missouri state line to 39th Street in Kansas City, Missouri and in a line straight east from 39th Street to the intersection of I- 435 and I-70 then along I-70.
