Happy Birthday Chan Kit Fong
This was definitely a family affair!
It was great spending time with Chan Kit Fong on her 100th birthday. Chan Kit Fong (Chan Yiu Chi’s daughter and Master Fu Hang Ng’s mother) enjoyed spending her day with family and other Choy Lee Fut practitioners. To know her and spend time with her is such a blessing.
She has the spirit and energy of a young person. Also, her knowledge of the art is priceless. Knowing her for the past thirty years has been a joy. She is a very special lady.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! SI TAI POO,

IT’S BACK! THE SECOND ANNUAL SISTER CITY GARDENS FESTIVAL
In November 2018, Bakersfield Sister worked with Councilman Andrae Gonzales and the City of Bakersfield to sponsor the first Sister City Gardens Festival. The festival, which was held in the Sister City Gardens at Mill Creek, showcased the foods and cultures of Bakersfield’s five current Sister Cities. There were also activities for children at activity booths throughout the gardens. All attendees were encouraged to pick up a passport at the “Passport Office”, and have it stamped as they visited each garden and completed an activity there.
The first festival was an unqualified success, both as a fun and educational activity for Bakersfield families and as a way to boost public awareness of Bakersfield Sister City programs.
Date And Time: Sat, November 16, 2019, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM PST
Location: Sister City Gardens at Mill Creek. 605 18th Street. Bakersfield, CA 93301
