| Hi VBNF members and Colleagues: |
Many of you have been enjoying reading our newsletters and learning about VBNF. Thank you for the support. But don’t stop there, come out and join us. We conduct effective meetings so you can make more friends within the time of our meetings. We let you introduce yourself to everyone all at once so you do not have to repeat yourself. In addition, our friendly members will help you settle in and feel right at home.
We decided to have only two regular meetings a month to give us all some time to prepare and work on your own business. We also decided to have meetings at different locations so our members can experience new places and different food. We will also arrange special events to bring other business groups to celebrate together. |
 |
We bring in the Media to promote our member. Two of our media friends Tom Lucas of CFUN and Kamilla Singh of Asian Pulse TV (Ch 20) put us on their show. Thank you very much. |
Check out what's happening in the next while below: |

Tom Lucas, Seminar on Radio Advertising, March 7
We had a great time at our Burnaby meeting on Tuesday. Tom Lucas was our special guest who delivered a lockout speech on Radio show biz and Radio advertisement. We were also honored that Kamilla Singh of Asian Pulse TV (Ch 20) joined us for the evening too. What a great combination. VBNF will definitely be working with the media to promote our members and work with our business partners to bring more value to our membership.
Call in to CFUN (AM1410) on Saturday evening from 6 – 8 p.m. with Tom Lucas. Tell the world about you and your business.
Don’t forget to mention VBNF if you don’t want to wait too long to go on air.

Rock Society Lunch
We had a great meeting with the Rock Society on Monday. Although we had two meetings back to back, we had over 60 people at the lunch. I think we will do more these kinds of joint meetings so our members can meet with more new friends at the meetings.
