On February 15th, 2025, Aylus members recently volunteered at a local senior center, assisting with a community bingo event. Their efforts included helping seniors with their bingo cards, calling out numbers, and creating a warm and engaging atmosphere. This initiative not only brought joy to the residents but also strengthened intergenerational connections, fostering a sense of community and support. The members’ dedication and enthusiasm made the event a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Beyond assisting with the game, volunteers took the time to engage in conversations with the seniors, listening to their stories and sharing laughter. Many residents expressed their appreciation for the companionship, as events like these provide a break from their daily routines and offer meaningful social interaction. The presence of the Aylus members helped create a lively and welcoming environment, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued.
This volunteer effort reflects Aylus’ commitment to community service and making a positive impact beyond their organization. By giving their time and energy, members not only brought happiness to the seniors but also gained valuable experiences in empathy, leadership, and teamwork. The event served as a reminder of the importance of connecting with older generations and the joy that comes from giving back to the community.
Members who participated were Eric Chen(Event Leader), Diana Zhang and Kylee Guo. Each volunteer contributed 1.5 hours of their time to make this initiative impactful.
