Grand Elder Henry Yee (仕昂).
Much of the food was made by our Women’s Group

And everyone was treated to a delicious lunch of Beef Chow Fun, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Beef and Mushrooms, Fried Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Orange Chicken, and a local favorite, Little Caesars Pizza. To satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth, we also included delicious chocolate chip cookies, and the always popular, “Ice Cream Cart” with our Treasurer, Ray Yee acting as the “Good Humor Man”.

grand president Sherman said that he would not
disappoint the expectations of the US Yee Family
Association, and would do his best to maintain and
strengthen close ties with all the branches, and
strive to do a good job as the western grand
president.

winners. Then, clan relatives and friends took a
group photo in the beautiful Victory Park.
Finally, the clansmen and friends shook hands with
a happy mood and said goodbye, wishing each other
