The Plum Blossom Federation Annual Banquet was held at The Empress of China Restaurant in Chinatown of San Francisco on November 15, 2003. The banquet started off with the lion dancing ceremony performed by the Eastern Ways Kung Fu. This year the School of the Year award goes to Sifu Alan Hubbard, Eastern Ways Kung Fu School of Sacramento California. The student of the year award of the Doc-Fai Wong Martial Arts Center went to Mr. Shawn Kunkler and the Instructor of the year award was given to Si-Hing Richard Weisinger. During the Banquet, Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong officially elevated Mr. Alan Hubbard to the rank of sixth generation Sifu of Choy Li Fut and made him an official disciple in a ceremony at the same time. Sifu David Dong's Golden Lion Martial Arts Center also awarded three students the rank of Black Sash with Sifu Jason Wong performing the Black Sash oath ceremony for them. The banquet also hosted the best dressing contest for male and female divisions. That evening over 30 prizes were raffled off to the audience and the grand prize was the Lung Chuan Tai Chi Sword. This year we had 37 tables with 370 people from all the associated schools from the Northern California Area as well as Reno, Nevada.
