We are back!

​After 6 years, due to the Covid-19 pandemic concerns, the National Yee Fung Toy Family Association Convention will resume with the New York Yee Fong Toy Association chapter co-hosting the next 27th Convention in the Hyatt Place Flushing/LaGuardia Airport on August 3-6, 2024.  This is your event, your home, where you are accepted and embraced for being a Yee.  As a host, our main concerns are health, safety and having an amazing time. So, let's celebrate together in a way that we will never forget.

​Going forward, we must always remember where we came from and all those who have passed on that influenced us along the way. Since our last convention in 2018 in San Francisco, we have lost many family members and more notably some of our association's pillars, Grand Elders Herbert K. Yee, John M. Yee, Art Yee as well as Grand Advisors Fred Yee and Gene K. Yee.  May they rest in peace knowing the torch will remain lite to carry on the legacy of our Founding Grandfather Yee Jing (Chung-Sheung) and our Yee Fung Toy Association.

2024 will be important milestone for Yee Fung Toy Family Association Headquarters and all the Yee members in the United States. The Centennial Celebration is only part of the story. Tradition has it that our history extends generations back to Founding Grandfather Yee Jing (Chung-Sheng) (1000-1064). For the Yee Clans in the United States, we survived World Wars, the Great Depression, September 11th and more currently, Covid-19. Like our ancestors, we faced many issues but with strong character, kindness, sincere words and understanding of humanity, we will overcome. Although it's time to reflect, to honor the visionary leaders that built our great family association that we have now, it's time to continue their work for the benefit of future generation. With technologies, innovations and cultural trends changing so quickly, we need to celebrate the end of the first and welcome the founding of our "Second Century".

YES WE CAN

​​For this convention, working together to make our Yee Fung Toy Family Association grow into the next generation will be our mission statement.

Unique & savvy solutions 

The cost of holding our convention for the last few years have been increasing tremendously. Even with the generous donations from our Yee members along with monetary gifts from organizations and friends, it just barely covers expenses. New York City, the city that never sleeps, is one of the most interesting and expensive places to be in. We need to have creative thinkers from each chapter to come up with unique solutions to raise additional capital to fund the convention. We value everyone's input and working together we know we can get it done. YES WE CAN. We are all a unique Yee.
