September is the month to move! Come and dance for health and wellness.

From the website SeniorsMatter.com, “Dancing benefits the elderly in many ways both physically and mentally. In this study, elderly people who dance improve their motor skills and more. This activity is something that can be a part of any elderly person’s day when modified to meet the specific person or population.

Aging is a part of life, but that does not mean people must experience physical and cognitive decline as a result. There are many ways to fight such a decline, and one of the most delightful is dancing! This type of activity is becoming popular because of the many body areas it impacts positively. In a six-month study following a group of elderly people who took part in a one-hour-a-week dance class, the following positive changes were noted as to how dancing benefits the elderly:

• Better posture
• Quicker reaction times
• More agility
• Sharper minds
• Better overall sense of well being

Dancing helped the elderly people in the study improve their motor skills and balance too.”

I hope you please join us and help spread the word to Kūpuna in Ko’olauloa.

In this two-part intermediate level sewing class, participants will learn how to use leftover fabric scraps to make a long-lasting quilt.

Gypsy Wharemate-Sadler is an experienced seamstress and Hawaiian quilter. She’s made clothes and blankets all her life and happy to share her knowledge.

Limited to 8 adults who must attend both sessions (total of 7 hours). 

Participants should have basic understanding of how to work a sewing machine (threading the bobbin/needle and using the foot pedal). 

Please call Kahuku Library 808-293-8935 to register. 

Machines, supplies and a variety of donated fabrics will be provided. Participants may bring in fabric, too.

This program is made possible by the Friends of the Library Kahuku and the 2020 Hawaii Grant in Aid.
