會長助理張淳鈞等四位訪問泰國余氏宗親總會,一同參拜風
采堂祖先余靖。 並捐款泰幣二十萬銖。
二○一六年五月十六日,世界余氏名譽會長暨第六屆世界余氏宗親會會長余華賜、
湖北武漢余氏宗親余萍到訪舊金山余風采總堂並祭祖。
受到余風采總堂元老余習文、余臻發、美西總長余永源、顧問余武良、
副主席余健峰等首長及宗親的熱情接待。
美西總長暨世界余氏宗親會會長余永源對余華賜宗長
及余萍宗妹的到訪表示歡迎。
他介紹,余華賜宗長是剛剛在去年圓滿成功地完成了在澳門舉辦
第六屆世界余氏懇親大會的會長,懇親大會的盛況,
讓美國余氏代表團感受深刻,
大會上還得到華賜宗長及各地余氏首長的鼎力支持,
爭取到二○一八年第七屆世界余氏懇親大會的主辦權在三藩市舉行。
他的到訪的確是一個難能可貴的機會,藉此機會向華賜宗長
請教和傳授一
些成功的要訣,力求余風采總堂把二○一八年的懇親大會辦好。
世余名譽會長余華賜表示這次是專程到美國余風采總堂向大家表示感謝,
感謝余風采堂同仁對二○一五年在澳門召開的懇親大會給予
的大力 的支持和幫助。 他稱,
當他到三藩市總堂就感覺到海外的余氏宗親對先祖和中華傳統文化虔誠摯愛之情懷,
深受感動。在認識了多位余氏的前輩和首長後,
清楚了解到余風采總堂原來是一個人才百出,精英雲集的團體,
他堅信二○一八年的懇親大會在余風采總堂各位首長的帶領
下定能辦得更加出色,
屆時他一定會組團前來參加,最後,他祝願大家身體安康,事事順利。
余風采總堂副主席余健峰很開心華賜宗長的到來,
他們到訪對二○一八年世余懇親會有很大幫助,因他是第六屆懇親大會的會長,
他的經驗將是他們寶貴的財富,藉此機會可以直接與華賜宗
長交流, 希望在他的指導下把第七屆世余懇親大會辦好。
世界余氏宗親會名譽會長余習文元老表示非常高興余華賜會長
和余萍宗妹和她女兒一起到總堂拜訪和祭祖。
他稱,俗話說:「有朋自遠方來,不易樂乎。」
更為難得是余萍宗妹還是遠從湖北來到這�堙A
讓大家了解到余氏這個大家庭一些新的信息。
而余華賜會長去年在澳門舉辦的第六屆世余懇親大會非常成功,
他這次來訪希望他把他的成功經驗傳授給大家,
讓大家同心協力把第七屆世余懇親大會辦得盡善盡美,
藉此機會祝余華賜宗長和余萍宗妹旅途愉快。
余萍宗妹對此次拜訪總堂表示非常高興, 而且感謝總堂各位首長給她們一個難得的機會, 更讓她女兒學習和感受到海外華人在舊金山拼搏的寶貴歷史, 希望今後大家加強聯系溝通,也歡迎余氏宗親到湖北做客。
隨後,余風采總堂在華埠花園食坊設宴招待余華賜宗長和余萍宗妹一行, 雙方在輕松愉快的氣氛中暢談。






加欖巴士余風采堂由於無法預訂以往的場地舉辦他們的年慶,
所以決定於五月廿二日(星期日)和新東方學校的答謝會歡
聚一堂 在新東方學校的體育館一齊舉辦。
小芳副主席在致詞時表示:在座的都是余氏的後人及親屬。
余氏後裔在哥倫布有二百多人。今天大家在這裡一起講講家
鄉話,共敘鄉情。
我們余氏鄉親的先祖--北宋名賢余靖(忠襄公),他文武全才,
精通經史,長於詩文,官拜工部尚書,為官耿直清廉,安邦
定國,功垂後世。
北宋大文學家歐陽修撰碑稱讚余公「為人質直剛勁,而言語恂恂,
不見喜功垂後怒,自少博學強記」。
現居華南廣東等余氏後裔,系尊余靖為始祖,
廣東及海外各地的余氏宗親會多以「風采堂」及「武溪公所」為名號。
「風采」源出於余靖的同朝官員蔡襄所作讚美靖公的詩句
「必有猷謀庇帝右,更加風采動朝端」,
余氏後人還在余靖的出生地粵北曲江建「風采樓」以為紀念。
「武溪」則源出於余靖的生平著作彙集而成的《武溪集》。
今天的食物很豐盛,美味的中餐吸引了很多人,桌子可能不夠用。
希望大家保持次序,尊老愛幼,把桌椅讓給老人先坐。
最後,祝大家吃好,喝好,度過今天美好的時光,謝謝!

農曆五月五日端午節,

武良及各科職員、
委員暨列位夫人及宗親相聚一起品嘗節日食品「粽子」
