武溪中學舉行建校二十四週年慶典暨二零零九年獎教獎學金頒獎典禮


十二月十一日，台山市武溪中學迎來建校二十四週年及一年一度的獎教獎學金頒發典禮。 黃偉紅、關澤鋒、黃國忠等市領導及市教育、外僑等部門和白沙鎮有關領導出席了慶典活動； 香港余氏宗親會理事長余紹凱先生、余風采五堂會主席余健倫先生等四 十餘位余氏首長專程趕往學校為典禮致辭，並親自為獲得獎教獎學金的師生頒獎。

黃國忠副市長在校慶上致辭

整個典禮和頒獎儀式簡樸而又熱烈。 黃國忠副市長在致辭中說，香港余氏宗親會、余風采五堂會歷來關心家鄉建設， 為台山捐款總額已過 3000 多萬元，其中對武溪中學的捐款超過 2600 萬，並在武溪中學設立了 500 多萬元的教育基金，基金總額為全市學校之冠。

黃偉紅（左四）、關澤鋒（右一）、黃國忠（左一）、香港余氏宗親會理事長余紹凱（左三）、 余風采五堂會主席余健倫（右四）等為優秀余氏學校頒獎

在海內外余氏宗親和各界人士的關懷下，武溪中學廣大師生不負眾望，建校二十四年來，已培養了5000 多名優秀學子，二零零九年秋季，武溪在學更因突出的教學成績而獲批面向全市招生，這在農村中學中是極為少見的， 不但是對武溪全體師生勤教勤學、努力向上的回報，也是一個全新的起點。

二零零九年香港余氏宗親會、余風采五堂會、余尊德堂、 美國余風采總堂及各界余氏宗長一如既往支持武溪的建設和發展， 二零零九年度共捐資港幣 53 萬餘元、人民幣 16.7 萬元、美元 2000 元，他們的善行義舉，不僅為師生們提供了良好的學習生活環境， 更鼓舞著他們不斷進取，用實際行動報答關愛武溪的各界人士。


校慶活動上，師生們還表演了豐富多彩的文藝節目， 他們精彩的演出贏得了在場嘉賓的陣陣喝彩，在體現出武溪師生充滿熱情、 積極向上的精神風貌的同時，也向關注著武溪成長的各界人士送來了一份令人滿意的年終答卷。

新任昆士市地方法院法官達明宗長於一月三十一日恭備金猪香燭， 陪同夫人海倫女士和慈母李寶瓊女士一起到紐英崙余風采堂祭祖，感謝祖先庇佑，事業成功。


祭祖儀式由中午十二時開始，儀式非常隆重。 由達明法官主祭，余風采堂元老、副總長、主席、顧問及各職員陪祭。 到場觀禮的宗親及僑社人士非常擁躍，整個余風采堂被擠得水泄不通。 在美國土生土長的達明法官遵奉中國禮儀，在主席的引導下上香、敬酒、敬奉財寶、敬獻金猪。 然後用流利的台山話向在座各人發表演說，感念父母的栽培，夫人的協助。感謝各宗親的祝賀， 亦感謝各僑團領袖及長期好友蒞臨觀禮。 並表示對已開始的法官工作非常熱愛，今後將在工作崗位上加倍努力，不辜負大家的祈望。

余風采堂高層職員首先致詞祝賀。 到賀的僑團領袖及僑社聞人很多都受邀致詞，各人除讚揚他對華人社區的貢獻外， 亦追述同他的長期友誼。有些人與他在童年時已是好朋友，共同成長和奮鬥，度過難忘的青少年生活。 滿面笑容的法官媽媽李寶瓊女士亦受邀致詞，言詞真摯動人，令人感受到一位母親的滿足和喜悅。

余風采堂當日備有午餐款待各宗親和嘉賓，達明法官夫婦周旋於各人之間，歡聚友情。

余達明法官生長於華埠大同村，對華埠有一種深厚的感情。 在過去長期執業律師期間，除担任余風采堂法律顧問外，亦担任很多華埠社團的董事或法律顧問，替僑社爭取權益不遺餘力， 深受僑界敬重。 當日在場人士均祝福他歩歩高升，鹏程萬里。

南加省余風采堂第一屆粵韻悠揚獻耆英慈善粵曲餐會



 


由南加省余風采堂主辦，南加省余風采堂婦女組及洛杉磯銀河音樂曲藝社協辦之「第一屆粵韻悠揚獻耆英慈善粵曲餐會」，已於 2010 年 3 月 13 日(星期六)，上午十時半至下午四時，在羅省金龍大酒家 (Golden Dragon Restaurant) 舉行，此次活動一方面是要把敬老愛老的精神傳揚下去，另一方面是慶祝粵劇粵曲是首項民間藝術獲列為世界非物質文化遺產， 也是中國二十二項世界非物質文化遺產的其中一項。 由於人力物力的限制，此次活動將以粵曲演唱為主， 中午十二時 敬備午餐、下午二時半 敬備下午茶。

此次活動得到余施橋先生、余伯挹先生、余以信伉儷、余黃娛鳳女士、關余小曼女士、 陳如莉女士、伍仲偉醫生、謝子直先生、譚寶瓊女士、關寶琴女士、Mrs. Chan Hing 及金龍大酒家出錢出力支持，免費招待 140 名耆英參加，而亦得到曲友的熱心參與，整個活動將筵開22席，全場門券一早已爆滿。

是日早上十時來賓便如貫入場，十時半由南加省余風采堂正副主席伯挹及施橋一同上台進行開鑼儀式。 鑼聲響起後，節目便正式開始，由洛杉磯銀河曲藝社全體樂師演奏小曲組合「銀河會、孔雀開屏、娛樂昇平、步步高」。 接著便演繹名曲四首，南唐殘夢----(余冠全、葉蕙棻)【陳植生頭架、胡燦光揚琴】，碧波仙子之證良緣----(葉聲輝、 英麗萍)，殘夜泣箋 ----（余黃娛鳳）【陳植生頭架、胡燦光揚琴】，吟盡楚江秋---- (關淑怡)。

第一階段之演唱於中午十二時暫時結束，南加省余風采堂金牌司儀余玉玲女士主持致詞之程序，主席余伯挹上台致歡迎詞， 余風采堂總堂美西副總長余以信先生致祝賀詞，中華會館副主席馬國威、伍仲偉醫生分別致詞， 副主席余施橋先生致謝詞，並與各嘉賓，參演者一同拍大合照留念。在此亦進行午餐。

接著第二階段又響起，七月七日長生殿---- (王珮珍、岑若蘭)，劫後描容---- (余冠全、譚寶瓊) 【譚略頭架、胡燦光揚琴】，秋夜夢魂香---- (余愛賢)，啼笑姻緣 ---- (呂俊華)，黛玉離魂---- (關寶琴、司徒碧珊)。 在此亦分享由謝子直送出之蛋糕、橙作甜品。余福沾顧問、陳焯湘夫人及有心人送出鮮橙汁。這個慈善粵曲餐會， 正顯示出各界善心人士對於此活動的支持，透過粵曲愛好者的善心公演，令到在場者有二百八十多人大家聚守一堂， 一同進餐又一同欣賞廣東獨有的文化，實在是人生一大樂事。

大會更準備了小禮物「美國心」送給到場之參與者，而這次餐會在下午三時多便結束，來賓都依依不捨，再期後會之期。 事實上此次活動經傳媒報導之後，很多社團及社會人士致電，贊揚此次「敬老」活動是相當有意義， 亦希望可以辦多一次，讓今次未能參加之長者可以參與， 本堂已經把他們的聯絡方法記下，以便日後優先給予他們。而各界人士捐助為長者餐劵者，絕對一分一毫是用在長者身上， 而大會上各項開支都是由本堂及歌友籌集。中華會館、伍競群夫人、吳健夫人、朱黃惠瓊、譚太及其親友、 趙尚賢等人即場捐出善款， 希望在今年內再辦一次如此有意義活動。因為這次活動是北美洲的創舉，也成了羅省盛事， 本堂希望以後可以有人力物力每年舉辦一次「敬老」活動，發揚為風采之光。

是日來賓有中華會館副主席馬國威、中華會館監事長李榮傑、中華會館監事長聶澤英、 中華會館其他成員如譚偉明、關梓漢…等人均出席見證這羅省盛事。

Greetings from San Francisco YFT Headquarters

Happy Holidays to All!

Our annual Christmas Party will be held on Sunday, December 20, 2009 starting at 12pm. Kids 12 years old and under that register earlier will receive a $20 Lai Sei, along with a lunch. All other family members that register will also receive a lunch. We will have Santa Claus there to ring in the Christmas holiday spirit.

On December 22, we will celebrate Winter Solstice by providing to our members who register “Yong” a.k.a Tangyuan, that is a meal with flour balls cooked in a savory broth with delicious items like fish cake, Chinese sausage, cabbage, Chinese carrot, meatballs, and anything the cook see right for the season. Winter Solstice Day is the end of the long nights and there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in.

We will be visiting our senior’s in rest homes on December 23rd ringing in the holiday spirit. Each Yee patient will be provided a warm blanket and a $20 Lai Sei. To the care facilities, we will make a donation to them and to thank them for their service to the community. It is always great to see our seniors!

Travel the Silk Road the Houstonian Way Contest

About six years ago Frank Yu, Chairman of the Houston Yee Fung Toy Association, put up $1000 US for high school students in Toishan area to compete in an English to Chinese translation of his article: Travel the Silk Road the Houstonian Way.

No legitimate entry was received from any Yee students. Mr. Yu is now restructuring the contest as described below:


Traveling the Silk Road has never been a popular journey for most tourists. It is long, adventurous, energy-sapping, treacherous, and relatively expensive. It could be spiritually uplifting, though, if one chooses to re-enact and trace the path, the hard way, made famous by Marco Polo, who pioneered trading between the East and the West 700 odd years ago.

 

The author and his wife joined a group of Texas A&M University alumni (Aggies) for this adventure in June, 2004. He found the journey sufficiently worthwhile to be chronicled into an 8-page-5000-word article. The author expresses freely and uniquely as if to invite readers to chime in, a la Aggie talk. His subtle humor makes direct translation into Chinese difficult and would often be misleading. Nevertheless, the article is not without the inclusion of history, geography and demographic data. The contestants are strongly advised to do research so as to translate the historical sites and events in official Chinese names and terminology.

Eligibility: The translation contest is open to current students or research fellows of University of Houston, Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Texas Medical Center, Texas A&M University and Texas Southern University who are affiliated with UACA only.

Deadline:  January 17, 2010.

Procedures:  Provide a pseudo name, address, telephone number, and associated institution in the entry for later verification purposes. Download the English version of Travel the Silk Road the Houstonian Way by Frank Yu from website: http://www.uacahouston.org.

Translate the entire article into Chinese, insert the furnished (enhance/image-stretching/edit through Adobe Photoshop or equivalent is strongly recommended) photos as appropriate. Email the translated Chinese version in PDF format only to uacahouston@gmail.com.

Judging Criteria: Understanding of expressions, subtle humor, and style; names of individuals, sites, countries and Hollywood movie titles, shall be the authentic/official Chinese terminology upon translation. Demonstration of proficiency in desktop publishing and photo editing skill so as to enhance the quality of the translated document shall be considered.

Evaluation scores are: authenticity 45%, understanding/phraseology/expressions 45%, and text wrapping/photo editing 10%. Judging shall be done by panel members whose decision is final. Winners, upon verification of names, will be announced and awards presented at a 2010 Chinese New Year Eve function. The winning translation along with the original article will be published in the local Chinese newspapers.

Frank Yu is now ante up the total prize to $2,000 with $1,000 to the first prize and up to five for honorable mentioned prizes of $200 each.

His translation contest is now posted on www.uacahouston.org.

Frank Yu will make an exception to invite all Yee Fung Toy students to enter the contest, subjected to the same evaluation criteria and conditions as spelled out in the Contest Rules.

The level of education of the contestants is expected to be high: undergrads, grads and post-doc researchers. Good luck!
