Hula dancers will perform at GAF’s 50th anniversary

Last week, hula dancer Harry “Hap” Pedigo special ordered 30 one-of-a-kind hairclips, made of exotic tropical flowers, for his hula ohana/family.

The handmade hair adornments— each unique in designs —are for the dancers who are participating at the Golden Age Foundation (GAF) 50th anniversary celebration ( see page 11 ).

The gifts brough so much joy to the class that it was almost like Christmas.

The club gives a big mahalo/ thanks to the kind and generous Hap. Hui O Hula dancers are ready to share their aloha in dancing as well as show off their hair embellishments.

Even without a hairclip, Hap will also be entertaining by Clubhouse 4 on the morning of Saturday, April 22. Hula lessons are offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. All are welcome.

For class or performance information, call 562-431-2242.
