VBNF Newsletter August 23, 2006

Alex Au-Yeung
President of VBNF

Dear VBNF Members and Colleagues: We have one of the best summer in Vancouver and I am sure you have taken advantages of the great weather and spent some time with your family and friends. At VBNF, we do enjoy the summer but we do not stop to work on new things. We participated at other network groups' events as well as having ours. At the same time, we work with some of our members to set up new businesses.


Please join me and welcome Forest Zhao, MBA as one of our Director who will help us manage the VBNF Chinese web pages. We have many inquiries from our Chinese friends who are not proficient in English and would like to see us provide the Chinese language directly. This can elliminate misunderstanding trying to translate our messages using publicly available free translating tools. By having the Chinese pages, our friends from China and new immigrants from China can read and understand our information. Welcome aboard. Forest.

Thanks to William C. W. Tsai of Taiwan Trade Center , Vancouver, who arranged our next netwroking meeting at the Park Place, 666 Burrard, Vancouver. We had a full house last time. Please sign up asap. There will be door prizes from our sponsors.
