Yee
Family Picnic Successful Fun








The
Yee Picnic was a success and fun for all
members, family, friends that was held
last Sunday for the first time at Indian
Steel Park. About 120 people showed up
for the event and it’s been 2 years that
the Yee Family have had the festivities
cancelled because of COVID.
You
didn’t get hungry for this picnic
because everyone enjoyed picnic food
such as grilled hamburgers, hotdogs,
fried chicken and Chinese dishes for
everyone. Lucy Ross and her team made
sure everyone had plenty to eat. She
said, “The food at the picnic made
everyone happy and it was important that
we fed all the families and the many
kids that showed up.”
All
the kids were all smiles as each
received a prized toy to enjoy, a water
balloon fight, and fishing at the nearby
lake. A raffle organized by Fred and
Paul Yee was won by many individuals
attending the picnic and everyone took
home a prize.
National Yee Fung Toy Western Grand
President Kenny Yee, his wife Phillis
and son Joshua drove from Los Angeles to
attend the Yee picnic: “I am honored to
be in here in Phoenix for this special
occasion and be with my Yee family and
friends”, said Kenny Yee. “My
relationship with the Yee Family here is
very important to me and I will help
them with anything they need here in the
Valley.”
It's been a couple of years that COVID
did away with the Yee Fung Toy Family
Picnic and now it is back for everyone
to enjoy. The late John M. Yee was the
person who created the Yee picnic and it
was he who said it was time to get the
whole Chinese Community together and
enjoy each other’s company and talk
about the latest family news.
