2025 Scholarship and Picnic Day
The Houston Yee
Fung Toy Association held their
annual summer picnic and scholarship
event “Scholarships and Ice Cream”
on July 26, 2025. Given the summer
heat and humidity in Houston, our
picnic events are preferred indoors
so everyone can be comfortable and
participate! This year, our
distinguished member Dorothy Yee,
graciously hosted the event at her
RE/MAX real estate conference
facility. It was perfect… kitchen,
conference room, game room, and cold
A/C. We had over 50 members attend,
which is great considering summer
vacations… who can resist Dim Sum
and Ice Cream?!
Kicking off our
event, Chairman Toby Yu reminded us
of the importance of contributing
time and effort to support our
heritage, our youth, our seniors,
and community through an ancient
Chinese fable “The Foolish Old Man
Removes the Mountains”.
To reinforce this,
the Officers announced a new annual
Service Award Category for Youth
Members that dedicated time to
support their local community. It
was named in memory of Lily Yu who
departed us last year n 2024. In
addition, the Officers also
announced the plan to host annual
summer trips for members to visit
YFT HQ in San Francisco! How
exciting! Finally, our Eastern Grand
VP, Roger Yu, presented on an update
on our annual funding process and
encouraging our members to come to
our 2027 national convention in
Sacramento!
This year, we want
to recognize these wonderfully
accomplished young and talented
Houston Yees! We are very proud of
them!
