Lion King Recognition for Kwan Hui
IACA Council Member and Lion Dance Team Coordinator Kwan Hui received well-deserved front-page coverage in the Carmel Current as the real "Lion King" of Indianapolis, for his many years of tireless service as a cultural ambassador for Chinese culture through lion dance.
We are thrilled that Kwan's labor of love as a roving Chinese cultural ambassador continues to receive wide recognition across Indiana.
