On February 5th, 2021, AYLUS’s Rancho Santa Margarita Branch made cards for their local frontline healthcare workers at Mission Hospital. The group felt, as the pandemic was reaching its one year mark locally, the need to thank healthcare workers for their dedication and service to the community. Each member wrote five cards, customized with a personal message of gratitude and a design on the cover, ranging from flowers to medical equipment to thankful words.
Each member was given a list, and from there, they began customizing the cards with all creative freedom. Some used calligraphy, while others used construction paper to cut out fun shapes and designs. At the meeting time and date, all cards were given to President, Katie Zhou, to be delivered in a safe manner. The group, many of which had parents or connections to the healthcare industry, used this opportunity as a point of reflection on the previous year and all the opportunities and roadblocks that came with it.
