Scholarship and Picnic Day
The Houston Yee Fung Toy Association held their annual summer picnic and scholarship event “Scholarships and Ice Cream” on July 26, 2025. Given the summer heat and humidity in Houston, our picnic events are preferred indoors so everyone can be comfortable and participate!

We had over 50 members attend, which is great considering summer vacations… who can resist Dim Sum and Ice Cream?!
Kicking off our event, Chairman Toby Yu reminded us of the importance of contributing time and effort to support our heritage, our youth, our seniors, and community through an ancient Chinese fable “The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains”.
To reinforce this, the Officers announced a new annual Service Award Category for Youth Members that dedicated time to support their local community. It was named in memory of Lily Yu who departed us last year n 2024. In addition, the Officers also announced the plan to host annual summer trips for members to visit YFT HQ in San Francisco! How exciting! Finally, our Eastern Grand VP, Roger Yu, presented on an update on our annual funding process and encouraging our members to come to our 2027 national convention in Sacramento!
This year, we want to recognize these wonderfully accomplished young and talented Houston Yees! We are very proud of them!
