Get their minds warmed up for school with Mad Science summer camps and First in Flight performing arts classes. Enjoy a family meal and a night of bowling to round out the summer with a bang. <br> <br> On a sadder note, VTE offers our condolences to two of our members who've recently lost a parent. Dorothy Merchant of Simple Solutions Professional Organizers lost her mother on July 6, 2010 after a lengthy illness. Bret Dausman of Absolute Clean also recently lost his father to cancer. I'm certain they'd both appreciate members' support and encouragement during this difficult period. <br> <br> Finally, due to a personal illness that is going to take some time to recuperate from, VTE will be postponing restarting our monthly events. Our new target will be for October but we may need to change that again as we get closer depending upon my healing progress. If you would like further details, please contact Dani in our office. <br> <br> Here's more of what's on tap for VTE members and community events for August and first half of September. <br> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" colspan="2"> <hr> <br> <div> <div align="center"><img alt="" src="http://www.velocitytradeexchange.com/newsletters/enewsletter/images/h_news_upcoming_events.jpg"> <br> </div><br> <div align="left"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><strong><font color="#800000">New Members:</font></strong>&nbsp; <font color="#000000"><font size="1" face="verdana"> Since our last Newsletter, we'd like to welcome our most recent completed member additions.
