She was a beautiful lady who shared her love of Hawaiian dancing with the ladies of Makua Hula. Last year, many months before the presentation of Makua Hula's first Hawaiian Show, "Aloha from the Islands," Iolana visited Sun Lakes and had many workshops for the Makua Hula Group. Iolana and her husband, Charles, invited the ladies to Hawaii for a week leaving them with many wonderful memories. Thank you, Kumu Iolana, for showing us many Hawaiian dances and dancing techniques. The ladies of Makua Hula Hawaiian Dancers remind everyone to please stay safe and wear your masks.

No one knows when the events will resume while new information about the virus seems to arise daily. We may need to assume that the 2020 schedule of our dances will not occur. Until the clubhouse, kitchen, and dance floor reopen, we are unable to reschedule. The DDC Board of Directors will keep you informed as new developments occur. Emails will be sent alerting you to any changes. In the meantime, please be well and follow recommendations regarding masks and social distancing. Hopefully the scourge will pass and we can all return to dancing and socializing in 2021 or before.
