Eng Family Benevolent Association
418 Cottage Home Street Los Angeles, CA 90012
羅省伍胥山公所之前身伍氏通訊處於1974
年正式成立,如今有200餘會員,是羅省中華
會館屬下「年輕」的成員。伍胥山公所經常
委派兩位理事,兩位監事出席中華會館,並
入選各委員會。
The Eng Family Interim Office in Los Angeles,
the precursor of the Eng Family Benevolent Association was established in 1974. Currently, our
membership roster numbers over 200, and we are
the “younger” member of Los Angeles’ Chinese
Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA).
We regularly appoint two members each to represent our Association on CCBA’s Board of Directors
and the Board of Supervisors.
早期的伍姓先輩先在西雅圖落腳,因此當
地的伍氏公所早在二十世紀初就成立。後來
大批伍氏宗親移居到紐約,主要從事洗衣店
行業,後來四十年代才遷移到氣候較怡人的南
加州。
Our Eng forefathers first settled in Seattle, and
the Eng Family Association there was founded in
early 20th Century. Later, a large number of
Engs moved to New York, engaging in the laundry
business. During the 1940s, some began to move
to Southern California for its balmy weather.
伍氏通訊處起源於1972年夏季,全美伍氏
懇親大會在紐約舉行,當時紐約代表來羅省
向此間宗親籌款,並在懇親大會報告羅省宗
親籌組公所之意願,大會議決盼各地伍氏宗
親鼎力支持,並由美西總長及大埠總公所協
助進行。羅省伍氏派伯樑赴大埠商討,通訊
處於1974年2月17日正式成立,由新倫擔任正
主任、伯樑為副主任,成立大會之宴會在華
埠香港樓舉行,筵開三十三席,由達斌擔任司
儀,黃氏宗親到賀者60餘人,充份表示黃伍
一家親。
In the summer of 1972, Bill Lee Ng of Bakersfield and Kai Fan of New York came to Los Angeles to solicit contributions to the Eng’s National
Convention held in New York the same year. They
conveyed to the Convention the wishes of the Los
Angeles Engs to establish a local family association. The Convention resolved to appoint the Western Region Grand President and the San Francisco
Headquarter staff to guide the Los Angeles clansmen to bring their wishes to reality. Dr. Jolson Ng was sent to San Francisco to discuss the details.
On February 17, 1974, the Los Angeles Eng Family Interim Office was established. The Chairperson
and Vice-chair were Eddie Poy and Jolson Ng respectively. An inaugural dinner emceed by Benjamin Ng at Hong Kong Low numbered 33 tables,
including over sixty Wongs, which spoke for the
close fraternal tie between the Wongs and the
Engs.
1976年暑期得到羅省中華會館主席黃國如
協助,租得該會館在重慶路9381/2號物業。
公所乃於1977年四月春宴時正式成立,第一
屆公所正主席伯樑、副主席瑞珊。由第一屆
開始公所一直舉行月會並未間斷。
In 1976, with the help of Mr. Poy Wong, then
President of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent
Association, we rented one of CCBA’s properties
at 938 ½ Chung King Road. Thus, our Association
was officially established on the day of our Spring
Banquet in April 1977. The first President was
Jolson and Shui San Ng the Vice-president. Our
monthly meetings have been held continuously
without interruption since then.
由尚修夫人及新倫夫人領導,每次月會
皆有精美點心、糕餅熱烈款待,婦女們對公
所歷年之貢獻及捐輸,是本公所同仁有目共
睹,亦極為欣賞者。
1977 saw the establishment of the Ladies’
Guild, under the able leadership of May & Ivy. Our
ladies were and remain indispensable in providing gourmet dim sum & traditional dishes at the
monthly meetings, as well as playing a supportive
role wherever and whenever needed. Their efforts
are recognized and much appreciated.
由競群擔任部長,達斌、壽鵬、艷愛姑及
Dorothy等為委員,舉行萬聖節及聖誕化裝舞
會,亦與婦女部協辦郊遊,該年又與黃氏青
年作球類比賽。
In 1978, the Youth Group, led by Peter, was
started, with Ben, Raphael, Beverly, and Dorothy
actively assisting. Highlight activities were the Halloween & Christmas parties, and the annual picnic
co-sponsored with the Ladies’ Guild. We also had
sports competitions with the Wong’s Youth Group.
宗親們在從成立通訊處之時已經有自置會
所的願望,公所第二屆主席瑞珊(1979)副
主席壽鵬及當年置業籌款委員會主席燦章、
聯同歷任美西總長及元老之璇燦及聯賀發動
籌款,以十四萬元購得418 Cottage Home街
為永久會址,得羅省及各地宗親熱烈響應,
乃底於成。
Back in the days of the Interim Office, our members had already expressed the desire for a permanent home. The second President, Shui San
(1979), was the indefatigable force behind making
the dream a reality. With the fundraising expertise
and support of the Western Region Grand President and now Elder Thomas of San Francisco
and Luen Ho, and the enthusiastic support and
fundraising efforts by devoted local members as
well as members in other cities, we purchased our
permanent home at 418 Cottage Home Street.
獎學金委員會是於1983年4月成立,以獎學
基金所得之銀行利息分派成績優良之伍氏子
女,每年於夏季郊遊時頒發,藉以鼓勵子弟
勤力向學,成良好風尚。
April 1983 saw the establishment of the Scholarship Committee. At the annual picnic, scholarships and plaques are awarded to children of male
and female members who submit school reports
showing “A” grades. The money comes out of interest earned from the Scholarship Fund.
主席璇廣及副主席達斌、聯瑛,繼往開來
籌得廿餘萬元將公所拆平,重新建設,由啟
鵬工程師負責監工,於1992年春宴時正式揭
幕,美侖美奐,冷氣設備,樓高兩層,並佈
置一新,與通訊處時期確有天淵之別也。
In 1991, then-President Ed, and Vice-Presidents Ben and Larry raised over two hundred thousand dollars to construct a new, air-conditioned,
the two-story building with modern interior decorations. Pang lent his engineering expertise to act as
inspector during construction. What a difference
between the new building and the interim office!
本公所歌唱團於1993年七月組成,得以
在該年於羅省舉行之全美伍氏懇親大會上演
唱。
In July 1993 our Chorus was organized to augment the entertainment program at the National
Convention held in Los Angeles that same year.
是年本公所參加於西雅圖舉行的世界伍氏
懇親大會,在會中倡議因應時代需求,成立
網站,以便利通訊聯絡,十五年間,各地公
所包括中國兩岸,紛紛響應,為我公所重要
的傳播工具,璇廣元老及公子健強,皆為現
任網頁主管,居功至偉。
During the 6th World Eng Convention held in
Seattle in 1999, our Association proposed setting
up a website to facilitate communication between
all the Eng Associations worldwide. After 15 years,
our online network includes not only Eng Associations in the U.S. and Canada, but also China, Taiwan, and other Southeast Asian countries such as
Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and the Philippines.
Much credit is due to our Elder Ed and his son, Steven, who serves as the webmasters.

The Next Generation Group (NGG) was established in 2006. To quote an excerpt from its mission statement, It aims “to spearhead the efforts of
generating involvement in activities that will continue the traditions of the family association, preserve and celebrate its history and achievements,
and enhance its social relevancy and communal
the purpose for future membership”. NGG has held
activities such as Youth Career Days, Health seminars, and Chinatown art gallery tours. Over the

Our Association has always maintained a harmonious relationship with the Chinatown community and organizations and the Los Angeles
the community at large. We support and strive to participate in all activities sponsored by the Chinese
Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA). We
are actively participating members of the World Eng
Family Association as well as the U.S. National Eng
Family Association. We successfully hosted the
1993 and 2009 National Conventions. Elder Peter
was a Past President and a current Elder of the
World Eng Association. Past presidents who were
elected Western Region Grand Presidents of the
National Eng Association include Ed (1994-1995),
Benjamin (2000-2001), Peter (2004-2005), Tenny
Ng (2010-2011) and Wayne S.C. Ng (2016-2017),
and Wayne C., the current Vice-Grand President
of the Western Region. Our leaders also hold or
have held important positions in other Los Angeles Chinatown Associations. Wayne S.C. and
Peter is both former CCBA Presidents and Peter is the current CEO of the Chinatown Service
Center; Tenny is a past president of Ning Yung
Association; Benjamin has represented CCBA on
the Board of Chinatown Public Safety Association
for over 20 years; the late Larry Ng, another past
the president was a CCBA Vice-President and ViceChair of its Board of Supervisors; Jolson, the Eng
Association’s 1st President served many years in
the Chinatown Citizens Advisory Board to the L.A.
CRA Committee. Other members have assumed
leadership positions, too: Winston Wu and Rick
Eng (Past-President and current President respectively of Chinese American Citizens Alliance), Harry
(President of Bing Kong Tong) and Se Fat (President of Hop Sing Tong). We welcome non-members to our functions, especially our brothers and
sisters from the Wong Family Association, such as
the annual “Parents Day” luncheon hosted by NGG
when 30 or more Wongs would attend. The annual
Spring Banquet always serves as an apt occasion
for socialization, networking, and renewal of friendship, with 100 or more community leaders attending each year.
