編者話風采總分堂報導
下期預告編者話
歡迎來到第三十二期的「風采電子季刊」,這是世界余氏宗親團体的電子訊報。
這期的「風采電子季刊」以夏季郊遊活動及懇親大會活動為主題。各風采分堂之活動由各余氏宗親們提供。 今年八月在加拿大溫哥華召開的世界余氏宗親總會懇親大會暨全加余風采堂懇親大會、 以及在美國西雅圖召開的全美余風采堂懇親大會已順利圓滿成功閉幕。 詳細資訊內容已連結了各懇親大會網頁了。 我作為一個全加余風采堂的代表,今年有幸參加了這三個在八月舉辦的盛大聚會,心裡非常高興, 留下很多難忘而獨特的回憶。 這三個懇親大會不但提供了難得的機會給世界各國地方、地區的余氏族人相聚在一起,還提供了交流和溝通的平台, 無論是互訴近況還是暢談社會大事, 場面是十分熱鬧。 尤其是久別相逢多韻味,老朋友們相見一樣談笑甚歡;而首次會面,新朋友也彼此了解。 世余、全加及全美懇親大會真的讓我大開眼界,也讓我深刻感受到作為一個姓余的族人是如此驕傲自豪。 我真真切切地也感受到了懇親大會的意義所在。 世余網站事務委員會今年八月十三日在西雅圖舉行的第24 屆全美余風采堂懇親大會中召開會議,決議通過推選出舍路余風采堂顧問 余海量為世余網站事務委員會新屆主席、南加省余風采堂副主席余國恩及紐約余風采堂副主席余宏基為 世余網站事務委員會新屆副主席、並當選我擔任為「風采電子季刊」新一屆的編輯。 同時委員會余海量主席介紹了兩位舍路余風采堂堂員余紹江(舍路)和余偉剛(舍路)為新的委員會成員, 他認為這兩位具備了豐富網上技術專業的知識與經驗人士, 可以幫助我們網站事務。在此感謝他們的加入。 而上屆世余網站事務委員會主席余文澤(鳳凰城)也建議,特提出鳳凰城余風采堂副主席余文焯為本屆一個特色專欄作者和 「風采電子季刊」通訊記者。 余武良(三藩市)及余冠全(南加省)也加入了世余網站事務委員會小組。 首先我藉此機會感謝各位網站事務委員對我的大力支持和信任。我更加希望各位宗親, 各位讀者繼續對我們的工作提出寶貴意見和建議。 現在讓我介紹一下我自己,我的名字是余栢寧,我是全加余風采堂的書記。居住加拿大卑詩省風景秀麗, 交通便捷的溫哥華市。 自從第二屆世界余氏宗親總會懇親大會開始,我已參加過四屆的世余懇親大會, 在這段日子裡我也寫了許多溫哥華余風采堂活動報告。 由今期起,「編者的話」 由本人執筆。我希望能夠繼承上屆編輯余美湛寫作的水平。 我們秉承精益求精的服務理念,期望你們對本季刊能踴躍提供寶貴的意見和建議,使我們在來年度製作季刊時能更加進步, 更趨完善。 再次感謝大家,並請繼續給我們支持和鼓勵! 這期季刊得以順利完成,實有賴於下列余氏宗親的鼎力相助和衷誠合作,包括:

The relatively cloudy and cool weather did not dampen
the spirit for the participants who attended the 2012
Seattle Yee Fung Toy Family Association picnic held at
Woodland Park on July 22. Over a hundred participated
in this year picnic with 31 students, from
Kindergartners to College Senior received
scholarships.
Wonderful food, great prizes and mutual friendship help made this year's picnic another success.

Our next scheduled event to be held in Seattle from

the Seattle Yees. This is a much anticipated gathering
of all the US YFT chapter delegates and we welcome all
