On March 7, 2026, the Phoenix Yee Fung Toy Family Association celebrated both its annual Luncheon and Spring Banquet with many out of town and local guests at its Clan Hall and the Great Wall Restaurant. The Phoenix Yee Fung Toy Family had a double celebration this year as it is the Year of the Horse according to the Lunar Calendar and also the 65th Birthday of the Phoenix Yee Fung Toy Family Association.

Our out of town guests from San Francisco, California included Grand Elder Eddie Yee and his wife Carina (Advisor- Woman’s Auxiliary Club-SF); Western Grand President Sherman Yu and his wife, Margaret (President of Woman’s Auxiliary Club-SF); Advisor Anthony Leong Yee and his wife, Jeannie (Advisor- Woman’s Auxiliary Club-SF); President of Yee Fung Toy Family Association Headquarters Mr. Wei Jian Yu and his wife; Advisor for Yee Fung Toy Sacramento, Jian Quan Yu and his wife; and Advisor Ms. Xiaoping Mai Yee - Woman’s Auxiliary Club SF. Our guests from Los Angeles, California included Grand Elder Kenny Yee and Grand Elder Alan Yee and his wife Edith.

At noon time, we began our Year of the Horse New Year celebration with a ceremony to honor our Yee ancestors. We celebrated with two roast pigs, one donated by Mr. Sherman Yu and Mr. Wei Jian Yu and other roast pig donated by Mr. David Yee. In addition to the roast pigs, we enjoyed our traditional Chinese New Year vegetable dish, chow mein, salt and pepper pork chops, steamed chicken and Church’s fried chicken (one of our “traditional” dishes). Our local talented grandmas, aunties and sisters also made and shared various famous pastries and dim sum items which they make to celebrate Chinese New Year every year. Everyone gathered around, enjoyed the good food and reminisced about the old times.

In the evening, the annual spring banquet was held at Great Wall Restaurant. Once again we had a full house with 33 tables filled with guests in attendance. The spring banquet began with Mr. Huang Pei who played the yang qin, and partner Ms. Lily Wang who played the traditional Chinese erhu to welcome and entertain the guests as they entered the restaurant. The traditional Lion Dance then ushered in the beginning of the New Year, the Year of the Horse.

The Children’s Corner sponsored by Stephanie Yee and her daughters Megan and Emily was then officially opened. Many children visited the display, took photos in the photo booth and were surprised with gifts.

Phoenix Chapter President Jason Yee and President of Yee Fung Toy Family Association Headquarters Mr. Wei Jian Yu gave opening remarks and welcome all of the guests and dignitaries. Grand Western President Sherman Yu and Grand Elder Kenny Yee gave additional information and invited guests to attend the World Yee Convention which will be held in Hong Kong in November 2026.

Pastor Stephen Yee gave thanks and a blessing, and then dinner was served. Advisor Brenda Yee Fung introduced and announced the out of town and local special guests in Chinese. That was then followed by the “Night on the Sea” dance performance by Lynne Win and Connie Wu.

Our Scholarship Program was conducted by the Scholarship Chairperson Mrs. Betty Yee. This year, we awarded four scholarships: one eighth grader ($500.00) and three high schoolers ($1,000.00 each). The recipient of the eighth-grade scholarship was Noah Yee. The three high school scholarship recipients were Lauren Lo, Kevin Yee and Brayden Yee. Congratulation to all the scholarship receipts and their families—a job well done!

President Jason Yee, Grand Western President Sherman Yu, San Francisco Headquarter President Wei Jian Yu and all the Phoenix Yee Fung Family Association Officers gave a toast and wished everyone a Happy, Healthy and Successful Year of the Horse!

Then, last but not least, our most popular program began. The door prize drawing was conducted by Mr. Paul K. Yee, our beloved Uncle John’s youngest son, and his company of young volunteers. The prizes were abundant and young Yee Clan members assisted in distributing gifts symbolizing the continuance and passing of the Yee Clan torch.

Finally, amidst joyful karaoke singing, the spring banquet for the Year of the Horse came to a successful conclusion.

Wishing all the guests in attendance a safe trip home and many returns for years to come. May you have a happy and prosperous Year of the Horse!
