2011 Seattle Yee Family Association Officers
Seattle YFT 2011 New
Year Dinner  The
Seattle
Yee Fung Toy Association held its 2011 New Year dinner
at the Renton Seafood Restaurant at 6:30 pm on February
28. Although
this
year's
dinner
drew
fewer
participants
of
about
40,
may
be
because
of
the
cold
weather,
the
spirit
and
atmosphere
of
the
dinner
was
excellent
as
usual.
One
reason
is
the
we
had
quite
a
few
special
guests
attending
the
dinner.
Larry
Yee,
US
YFT
Association
West
Coast
Grand
President and his wife Denise were in attendance.  Larry
came
to
visit
Seattle
as
part
of
his
tour
of
his
presidency
and
more
specifically,
he
came
to
discuss
and
obtained
updated
information
about
the
Seattle
Chapter's
planning
process
towards
the
2012
US
YFT
National
Convention,
to
be
held
in
August
of
the
year.
Fred
Yee,
Seattle
Chapter
Advisor
accompanied Larry to visit the hotel which the
Convention is to be held. In addition, Larry visited the
Seattle YFT Association office in the
Chinatown-International District. In
attendance
of the dinner included Jim Yee, Chairman of the Yee Fung
Toy Society of Vancouver, Esther Yue and Albert Yu, both
members of the Vancouver BC Chapter. Kit Fung Yee,
Chinese Secretary of the Seattle Chapter gave the
welcoming remark, followed by greetings from De Shum
Yee, Seattle Chapter President.  Both
Grand
President Larry Yee and Vancouver President Jim Yee
spoke and the thank you message was delivered by Fred
Yee, Seattle Chapter Advisor.  One
special
note is that the food provided by Renton Seafood
Restaurant was excellent. Great thanks to Shek Jing Yee,
Seattle Chapter Advisor and co-owner of the restaurant,
for making the dinner arrangement. Great thanks are also extended to all those attended the dinner and we all look forward to next year's celebration. Fred

Seattle Yee Fung Toy
Association 2011 Ching Ming Cemetery Visit  On April 3, members of the Seattle Yee Fung Toy Association met up at the Chapter's office at 10:15 am to visit several cemeteries in the areas. Paying respect to our ancestors has been a tradition of the Chapter for decades, 2011 being no exception. The group went in two separate vehicles and visited four cemeteries, Lakeview, Holywood, Evergreen-Washali and Queen Anne (Mt. Pleasant).   Many of our past Yee members were buried and are now resting in peace; the earliest of the grave sites dating back to the 1910s. It was a wonderful and sunny day. Sharing old memories and connecting new experience were the highlights during the day-long visits. The group has lunch together at the Northgate McDonald's, a great favorite for the youngsters that went along on the visit. Fred
