紐英崙余風采堂馬年春宴 舞龍舞獅令人叫絕
金龍飛舞搖曳，彩獅歡賀滿堂，這是紐英崙余風采堂的春宴開場，在波士頓華埠今年的各大春宴中，可謂是獨特的勝景。
三月二十一日，余風采堂在華埠帝苑酒樓舉辦馬年春宴，邀公所會員及親朋好友總計三百多人歡聚一堂。
今年的余氏春宴，仍延續新冠疫情之後的習慣，聚集了紐英崙當地宗親，以及舊金山和紐約余風采堂的代表，但並未邀請政要嘉賓或其它僑社團體。
宴會開始，余翠梅帶領的華林派武術學員首先登場舞龍。金龍在鑼鼓和吶喊聲中飄逸飛舞。當它盤旋歇息時，武術學員依次登場，表演短刀、拳腳、
對抗等武術技巧，贏得熱烈喝采。
金龍離場後，余南獅醒獅團的六頭彩獅跳躍進廳，翻騰獻瑞，深入宴席中向每一桌來賓送上祝福，還拋灑生菜和橘子，祝願大家生財、吉祥。
接下來，余氏婦女組成員獻唱「歡樂年年」和「甜蜜蜜」，還表演舞蹈節目，迎來掌聲與喝采。
這場晚會由余紹強和余艷玲主持。紐英崙余風采堂主席余雅倫首先上台，
用中、英文歡迎來賓，祝福大家「馬年行大運」、「年年有餘」，也期盼
余風采堂「蒸蒸日上」。
余雅倫特別感謝他的父親余景新，後者也曾任余風采堂主席，目前擔任顧問。余雅倫說，父親當天未能出席春宴，
「但如果他今天在這裡，他一定會很開心，看到這麼多宗親在這裡，這麼
多嘉賓在這裡參加」。 他說，他是家族裡第二代主席，他父親為此也非常高興。
余雅倫還說，每年參加余風采堂春宴，都感覺很榮幸。特別當看到每年都有三十多桌來賓，感到宗親們都非常支持公所，這令他倍覺感激。
余風采堂副主席余立昌也祝福大家「馬年大吉、龍馬精神」。他希望，大家以後繼續像今天這樣支持公所；
公所主席和職員也保持「馬不停蹄、勇往直前」的氣勢，促使公所族務 「馬到功成」。
余風采堂元老余超群、余文博也分別向來賓送上祝福，鼓勵新、老職員繼續服務。宴席間，職員們上台敬酒，氣氛熱鬧。
來自紐約的全美余風采堂總長余應昌，代表總堂職員向紐英崙地區的宗親送上祝福。他感慨，聽到波士頓新一代主席講粵語的水平這麼好，
真是很感動。
晚宴期間，紐英崙余風采堂依循傳統，向余氏家族中攻讀高級學位，以及在大學中成績優異的，總計五名子弟頒發獎學金。
這是余風采堂連續第九年頒發余氏獎學金。

Yee Fung Toy
Association of Southern California — Spring Banquet
On
Saturday, February 28, 2026, under the leadership of
Chairman Jiang Feng, the Yee Fung Toy Association of
Southern California held its Spring Banquet and Bingwu
(Fire Horse) New Year celebration in Los Angeles. The
day commenced with a lion dance to welcome the spring
season.
In the
evening, the Association hosted 26 banquet tables and
welcomed approximately 260 clan members and guests to
mark the new year and strengthen clan fellowship.
At noon,
in front of the Association on Hill Place in
Chinatown, the sound of gongs and drums accompanied
the arrival of the lion dance. Board members then
conducted a solemn ancestral worship ceremony in the
main hall.
The
ceremony honored the ancestral instruction of Yee
Jing— “Fung Toy is the best”—as a tribute to tradition
and the Association’s founding principles. The
customary “dotting the eyes” and “picking the green”
ceremonies followed, conveying wishes for vitality,
steady progress, and good fortune in the year ahead.
Following
the ceremony, the Board of Directors convened to
review the Association’s work and discuss plans and
priorities for the new year. The meeting reaffirmed
the Association’s commitment to strengthening clan
connections, advancing scholarship and community
service initiatives, and encouraging participation by
younger members.
Established in 1931, Fung Toy Tong has long served as
a cornerstone and gathering place for the Yee clan in
Southern California, sustaining the “Fung Toy” spirit
for future generations.
The Spring
Banquet was held that evening at the Monterey Palace
Restaurant. Festive decorations and lanterns set an
appropriate celebratory tone throughout the banquet
hall.
On the
main screen, “Southern California Yee Fung Toy
Association Spring Banquet” was displayed against a
red background featuring fireworks and lantern motifs,
alongside the Association emblem. Red table linens
with gold accents completed the formal setting.
As members
and guests arrived, the hall quickly became a venue
for greetings and reunion, with four generations
represented in attendance. The program commenced with
welcoming remarks from the host.
Addresses
by the Chairman followed, reviewing highlights from
the past year and expressing appreciation for the
continued support of members and the broader
community.
A
multi-course banquet was served, and members exchanged
toasts in a spirit of respect for ancestral virtues
and shared heritage. A slide presentation reviewed the
Association’s activities over the past year.
The
presentation featured more than 300 photographs from
spring and autumn ancestral worship ceremonies,
outings and gatherings, cultural heritage events, and
community service, providing a meaningful record of
the Association’s ongoing work.
The
evening program included singing and dance
performances, as well as a raffle.
Representatives from the Yee Fung Toy Family
Association Headquarters (USA), and the Yee Fung Toy
Family Associations of Sacramento and Salt Lake City,
attended to extend congratulations. Their
participation, together with that of local members,
“Embody the deep friendship of 'one vein across the
four seas.”
Bingwu—the Year of the Fire Horse—symbolizes forward
momentum and steadfast purpose. During the banquet,
members reaffirmed their commitment to uphold the
spirit of their ancestors through unity and mutual
support.
Guided by
integrity and sustained by thoughtful renewal, the
Association will continue to advance its programs,
serve its members, and contribute to the broader
overseas Chinese community.

to join the celebration. The distinguished presence of
these guests contributed to the lively and vibrant
atmosphere of the evening.
The
evening's activities commenced under the guidance of
Grand Advisor Gong Sum Yee, who served as host.
President Bo Xi Yee delivered the opening speech,
offering a heartfelt welcome and expressing sincere
gratitude to everyone in attendance. He emphasized the
association's commitment to advancing various clan
affairs and highlighted the importance of recruiting new
members, especially from the younger generation, to
ensure that the century-old legacy of the association
continues to thrive for generations to come.
The

prominent figures, including Andy Yu, Eastern Grand

by Vice President Qian Yuan Yu.
As the
evening drawn to a close, the emcees led the entire
audience in singing the classic song 《

conversations, and traditional performances that
highlighted the rich cultural heritage of the community.

The Yee
Fung Toy Society of Canada expressed its heartfelt
gratitude to Mr. Johnson Kin Lun Yee for taking time
out of his busy schedule to visit. This tea
reception not only strengthened the friendship and
ties among clan members at home and abroad, further
promoting mutual exchange and cooperation, but also
brought clan members together. It laid a solid
foundation for carrying forward the fine traditions
of the Yee clan, advancing clan fellowship, and
supporting the successful convening of the 9th World
Yee Family Association Convention.
The next issue of the Yee Fung Toy Global Village Voice will be published in mid September, 2026, featuring current events and activities of the Yee Fung Toy associations across the world. Please submit your articles to the Editor via email (world.yee @ gmail.com) or postal mail (The Editor, 226 East Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada V6A 1Z7) by August 15.
