From Jan 2, 2020 Meeting: 
 
Prez-elect Jonnie Pullman provided her insights of Central Asia with pictures from her recent trip there.
Central Asia has always been a crossroads of commerce and ideas (Silk Road) and now is at the center of a tug-of-war between China and the rest of the world (think Belt and Road initiative).  Jonnie advocates travel as a way to learn and an inspiration to learn more.
