 A sunny and warm summer day on August 14 was a perfect backdrop for the 2005 annual picnic for the Seattle Chapter of the Yee Fung Toy Association. This year, the picnic was again held at the Woodland Park picnic area #1. By 11:30 am, volunteers of all ages from the local Yee families already gathered at the picnic site busily helping to set up tables, arrange food trays and organizing gifts for the prize drawing. This year’s picnic was especially energized by the joining of 48 members from the Vancouver (Canada) Yee Fung Toy Association. They arrived by bus at around 12:30 pm, having left Vancouver B.C. early in the morning.  Seattle Chapter President, Uncle Hing Yu, welcomed all those attending, numbering over 120. He thanked our Canadian cousins for making the journey to join the Seattle members. Brief remarks by representatives of the Canadian Yees then followed. The picnic lunch was a delicious meal of Chinese delicacies. The highlight of the picnic was the award of our annual scholarships. This year, Mr. John Yee of Seattle was the award announcer and over 31 students, from 1st Grade to senior in college were scholarship recipients. The picnic ended with exciting rounds of prize drawings. A special thanks to those who donated generously for the food and prizes which helped made this year another success.  In the evening, a special dinner was held at the New Kowloon Restaurant in Chinatown to honor our Canadian guests. Over 70 individuals attended the dinner and all were grateful to have a chance to reconnect and share in wonderful company.
