下午五時南加省余風采堂中青組及粵樂組已到達漢宮酒樓,因為今年春宴節目非常豐富,分別有、 『粵曲戲寶賀新歲』、『醒獅帶出好年時』、 『樂韻迎賓快樂年』、『致詞』、『雙魚喜接財神到』、『祝酒』、『高糕興興賀靈蛇』、 『民族舞動耀南加』、 『齊來迎接金蛇年』。
五時四十五分節目正式開始,當南加省余風采堂粵樂組演奏出一曲娛樂昇平,絡繹不絕人群隨樂聲不斷進入, 亦正式進入第一個節目『粵曲戲寶賀新歲』, 由一曲調記小桃紅「猜心事」展開序幕、「鳳閣恩仇未了情」、「錦江詩侶」及「夢會太湖」 等名曲一一送上, 讓嘉賓們不斷鼓掌。接著由冠全介紹晚宴的鑽石級司儀余露梨及余苗壯出場,宣佈春宴開始, 青少年參加『齊來迎接金蛇年』繪畫及現場特別安排攝影節目; 而南加省余風采堂合唱圑聯同謝氏世表合唱團唱出「快樂新年」 及「樂韻賀新歲」揭開『樂韻迎賓快樂年』節目。 是晚南加省主席國恩用英文致詞, 司儀余露梨作中文即場翻譯,展現堂務更年青化; 三藩市總堂習文元老上台致以萬分鼓勵之勉詞讓南加省仝人深感溫暖; 美西總長以信中英文致詞後;三藩市總堂永源主席更對南加省眾人之合作精神加以肯定; 羅省中華會館四大首長亦蒞臨指導,羅省中華會館副主席譚君隆更高舉余族祖先之精神 與今日世界余氏子弟之精英, 讓余風采堂仝人心感欣慰,羅省中華會館監事長聶澤英上台更肯定南加省余風采堂之業務, 更一次贊賞南加省余風采堂為社區耆英舉辦之慈善粵曲餐會,為社區工作帶來新的方向。 議員 Mike Fong 亦為此次盛事送上祝福; 經漢副主席在致答謝詞之前請廚房起菜,更讓大家快樂的鼓掌。小曼姑介紹到場嘉賓讓眾人掌聲響起。

三藩市總堂習文元老、永源主席及武良副主席、美國總長以信、南加省余風采堂國恩主席、經漢副主席、 國柱顧問及眾顧問齊上台祝酒,一祝在場人士身體健康; 二祝大家心想事成。而因為適逢初七人日,『高糕興興賀靈蛇』更是應節日而生,更邀請馬氏世表、 謝氏世表及南加省余風釆堂眾職員一起合唱生日歌及拍個大合照,這是一張非常難得珍貴照片。
『民族舞動耀南加』,小妹妹 Michelle
在台上跳出民族舞更讓台下人掌聲雷動。『齊來迎接金蛇年』的繪畫得獎者上台領獎時更說出新年賀詞,
讓參與者更投入,而問答比賽有 35 個參加者, 有 7
條是關於余風采堂歷史,有 3 題是有關新年傳統節日的習俗,有 20
個人獲得高分,難分勝負,只能用抽獎來決定誰可得到禮物,余心怡、余家揚、謝智弘、
余洋洋及鄺慶倫各得利是一封,而終極大獎遊戲盒帶則由余啟恩獲得,事實參與者都是實至名歸。
最後由於劭郎夫人在不動聲色下又送出多封大利是作抽獎,讓人有意料不到驚喜。
此時以信嫂很感性的上台多謝今晚晚宴付出的台前幕後人士,因此次春宴有如此好的成績,宴開 35 席,
要感謝施橋顧問送出財神利是,以信美西總長送出糖果,國恩主席送出現場即影即有照片之攤位及照片,
以信嫂送出『齊來迎接金蛇年』
畫畫遊戲之用品及獎品,超強送出問答題得獎之利是及遊戲盒帶;她更要感謝台前幕後工作人員,
由於得到眾人齊心合力支持及幫助,讓這次春宴寫下美好回憶。
以信嫂及冠全的對答讓整個氣氛更感家宴的齊心合力、眾志成城。
因為中青組超強特別將去年活動照片設計座台日曆,由國恩主席作特別禮物送給三藩市總堂,
三藩市總堂習文元老及永源主席上台代表接受後,
事前功夫保密到家,當習文元老及永源主席收到後非常贊歎南加省余風采堂中青組之工作。
當然以信嫂及冠全忘不了南加省余風采堂婦女部為各台準備鮮花擺設所作辛勞,亦多謝來參與之來賓,
讓會場掌聲響起。
最後司儀余露梨及余苗壯上台,鑽石司儀余露梨的一首即興詩為此晚會畫下句號; 宣布是晚宴會結束,眾人依依不捨,期待下次宴會再起。

Welcome to the 34th issue of the Yee Fung Toy Global Village Voice, an electronic newsletter for the World Yee community. In this issue we are featuring new Board Installations, Winter activities from associations around the world.
After four seasons of festivities in the Yee Chapters around the world, we would like to bid farewell to the Year of Dragon and to welcome the glamorous coming of the Year of Snake. During the Chinese New Year, all is new and full of hope. The World Yee Web committee would like to take this opportunity to wish good luck to all our readers in the marvelous Year of the Snake.
I hope that these Quarterly Issues will help us to better serve our readers. Too often we forget that a newsletter, even a family association newsletter, can survive only if it meets the expectations of its readers and is fruitful to them. Too often family association newsletters are managed having only a few contributors in mind. However, contributors, before being authors, were readers. Moreover, today’s readers will probably be tomorrow’s contributors and authors. If we can offer them a qualified, broad insight on the internet online and multimedia technologies field, we not only serve them, but we also contribute to educate new generations of authors, thus ensuring a bright future for this newsletter.
All this can be achieved through constant feedback from our readers. So, please, do not hesitate to contact me with your comments, complaints and suggestions. They will surely help me in making this newsletter more and more useful and desirable.
We welcome more Yee chapters to contribute events and activities reports from their locale.We thank all those who have made contributions to this issue, including:

Members of the The Hong Kong Yue
Clansmen Association went on an Autumn day trip
to Sai Kung on November 10.
The itinerary include Tin Hau
Temple at Fat Tong Mun; Tai Au Mun, Sai Kung
Country Park; and Lions Nature Education Center,
followed by a tasty seafood lunch at Tung Kee
Seafood Restaurant.





Sai Kung Town or simply Sai Kung
is a town on Sai Kung Peninsula, facing the Sai
Kung Hoi (Inner Port Shelter), part of Sai Kung
District in the New Territories, Hong Kong. Sai
Kung is the centre of the surrounding villages,
and hence the name may refer to the areas in its
immediate surroundings.
Having evolved from a fishing
village, Sai Kung is a mecca for seafood lovers,
locals and foreign tourists alike. Visitors can
stroll along the waterfront of Sai Kung Town or
explore the lanes of the old town, visit the Tin
Hau Temple, feast on seafood or enjoy different
delicacies at Western-style pubs and
restaurants.
The name "Sai Kung" came into
being around the early days of the Ming Dynasty
(1368-1644) when the Emperor Chengzu (also known
as "Yongle Emperor", 1402-1424), ordered an
official named Zheng He to make seven voyages to
the "Western Oceans". After one of those epic
voyages, many countries in regions of today's
South-East Asia, the Middle East and East Africa
started paying tributes to or trading with China.
Sai Kung was just a port of call at that time,
while its name means "tributes from the West" in
Chinese.
Tin Hau Temple (Fat Tong Mun) (“Tai Miu”), being
the largest Tin Hau Temple in Hong Kong, the
imposing Tin Hau Temple (Fat Tong Mun) (also known
as "Tai Miu" which means the Grand Temple) in Sai
Kung was established over 700 years ago. The
temple is the oldest one among all existing Tin
Hau Temples in the coastal areas of Guangdong. The
magnificent temple is partitioned into 3 parts
with one entrance only. The main hall is dedicated
to "Tin Hau", Goddess of the Sea, while in the
side hall on the right there are a bronze bell and
Tin Hau’s bed.
There are a lot of country parks and hiking trails in Sai Kung district. Travel south from Sai Kung Town you will find another place with natural scenery – Clear Water Bay. Begin your journey in Tai Au Mun at the end of Clearwater Bay Road. It is part of the Clear Water Bay Country Park, a very popular barbecue and picnic destination with cool breeze. Many people come here to fly kites.
Lions Nature Education Center takes up 165 hectares of land. It is one of the most notable nature conservation zones in Hong Kong. There are 17 outdoor display areas in the Center, including fruit orchards, an arboretum, a rocks and minerals garden, a medicinal plants garden and a demonstration tree nursery. There are also 5 exhibition halls, including the Countryside Hall, the Agriculture Hall, the Fisheries Hall, the Insectarium and the Shell House. The Center contributes comprehensively to education, recreation, nature conservation and scientific research.
