Come to the most effective Business Networking meeting in Vancouver. At our meeting, you will feel welcome and have fun. You don't have to introduce yourself many times as we will have round table introduction as well as informal networking. You may be one of the lucky winners for the door prizes from our sponsors. Thanks to Royal Bank's Tina Sarellas who gave us a bottle of Australia Red wine for the door prize. There will also be a number of prizes for members who can answer questions about the VBNF website. Be sure to go to our www.vbnf.com to look for answers. |
|
|
| |
|
| We are having two speakers for the evening. |
| |
|
|
| Patrick T. Britton from Global Security will talk about: Near Tax-Free Withdrawals From Your RRSP. He will explain how to withdraw money from your RRSP (nearly tax-free) and thus reduce your income taxes when you must collapse your RRSP or convert it into an RRIF. |
| |
|
| Dr. George Sakata, PREP will talk about "Marketing, what is it? What does every customer want or need?"
We'll engage the member after a brief introduction to basic marketing into discussion forum. |

| VBNF - Chinese Chapter is growing strong. |
| |
|
 |
| |
| Thanks to Teresa Huang, manager at the Office Suites Airport Square, we had our 3rd VBNF Chinese meeting there. We had a great time. Not only we met new friends, many of the members took home great door prizes. Jennifer Wang, Owner of the Ironwood Wine gave away two bottles of their best wines away. Guess what, Katherine, our lucky winner from last time won another bottle of wine. GonBai (Bottom Up). I hope she is going to invite us all to a wine party some time soon. Tony Leung is another lucky winner. He worked very hard for the evening. You deserve it. Neall Ryon, our new member who can speak more than 5 languages, joined us for the meeting. Who says white man can't speak Chinese? Ni Hau Ma? (How are you?) |
