紐英崙余風采堂熱烈慶祝 余文博律師出任美東總長
屆滿的美東副總長文博晉升為新屆美東總長，九月三十日上午十一時，
在紐英崙余風釆堂舉行祭祖儀式，敬奉〝香、燭、生、酒、金〞，以答謝先輩庇佑，
得以在第二十六屆全美余氏懇親大會當選總長，他衷心感謝各叔伯嬸姆們努力為他拉票，他笑稱：〝當年二十多歲加入公所，
四十七年後當上總長，是很長的一段路，一步一脚印升任不同職位，也是回顧過去付出的認証；
競選前，又因脊椎問題身體不適躺在醫院做手術，有信心也有擔心，康復中扶病出任參選，
喜以四十九票對十九票獲勝，這充份表現出我們紐英崙余風釆堂宗親的互助、團結、親人般的情義。〞
祭祖畢，移師中國城帝苑大酒樓，皆因余氏及余文博要答謝登報賀他的僑界友好，余文博是位甚樣的人，
可從這對相識數十年朋友的對話去了解他；中華公所主席（建築界名人）
陳家驊說，我們當年年少都從香港來到波士頓，我想當律師又給文博兄當了，我想當會計師也讓文博兄當了，他平步青雲好有錢，他又比我英俊，
我自覺又窮又唔夠他靚仔，當時我太太對我講，有一樣他唔夠你多〝頭髮〞；余文博說，
今天出席都是數十年的〝可以無所不避說短論長〞的好朋友；並回敬一句，願意出五千元買他的頭髮。
余風釆堂人才濟濟君子「不」爭，余文博表示，
元老余超群亦在世界余氏宗親會第七屆懇親大會當選副會長，「世余」在全球十個國家均有組織，
其第八屆懇親大會接棒的舉辦地是泰國；全美余氏有十四個分堂；
第二十七屆全美余氏懇親會將於二○二一年在華盛頓 DC
舉行。（*新屆美東總長文博、副總長順超；美西總長國恩、副總長國湛，

YFT Chapter - Yee Clan
Association Activity Reports
Combined 7th
World Yee Family Association & 26th US Yee
Family Association National Conventions
As a
participant from the Far East, Singapore, it was a
great opportunity for me to meet with all the Yees
from around the world, gathered here in San
Francisco. Most importantly, it was my honour to
represent the Yee Clan Association, Singapore, in
this Convention. Ever since the then World Yee
Chairman, Mr. Eddie Yee and Ms. Carina visited
Singapore in May 14th 2017, we were anxiously
looking forward to this epic event.
Firstly, I
had to apologize for filing my report late. My
family and I had a truly awesome, once in my
lifetime, maximized 2 months traveling experience in
the US and the “North to Alaska” outback. We
returned home on Oct 2nd and quickly rushed out
these scripts and some photos to Martin Yee for
publication.
August 8th,
we took a 15-hour non-stop flight from Singapore to
San Francisco. We spend a couple of days in Napa
Valley to savor some fine wines before heading back
to SFO on Aug 11th for the World Yee reception. We
met Jeanette and Carina at the Registration Room,
Hilton, exchanged greetings with Johnson Yee, the
Hong Kong delegates, Jim, Kenny, Martin, Donald,
Sherman and Frank, just to mention a few.
Next day,
at the newly renovated Yee Fung Toy Association, we
were very excited to see all our old friends present
and also be acquainted with many other kinsmen,
especially the Macau contingent. The ceremony
started with much fanfare with lion dancers, golden
pigs offerings. Then there was a grand march from
the Association’s Waverly Place, Chinatown, to the
Hilton Hotel. Instantly, we became a tourist
attraction! Some tourists started taking pictures of
us marching with the dragons and lion dancers, with
the Women’s Group leading.
We had day
tours around SFO Bay, the world-famous Golden Gate
Bridge with fog obscuring partially the bridge’s
towers with added effect. Another day tour to
California State Capitol, Sacramento, the office of
Ms Betty Yee, CA State Controller.
August
14th, the 7th World Yee Convention was successfully
concluded. We thank the World Yee organizers for
giving us such a wonderful experience. Hope to see
you in Thailand!
