President-Elect Jeanette Coulter introduced out guest speaker, Alan Shoemaker. Alan is a member of the St Andrews Rotary club and a frequent visitor our club. Alan provided a fascinating slide show and commentary about his 3½ week trip through Imperial China and into Tibet. He shared everything about the country from history, to food, to shopping, to culture.
