Reported by Adora Xiao :
On Sunday, November 5, Murrieta AYLUS members lended a hand to local senior centers.
At Torrey Pines Senior Living: The residents were given noodles to work out with, then were led through a stretching routine. After they grew tired, the volunteers opened the doors to let in a little sun, and read the daily chronicle. The residents took turns reading before they were brought outside to enjoy the garden and fresh air. The volunteers spooned fruit and poured juice and water as the residents’ snack, and after they’d finished the food the residents were taken out on walks. Afterwards, the residents were taken into the dining room for lunch.

On November 5th, 2023, Murrieta AYLUS members went to play piano at their local senior center.
Members started off with some Beethoven sonatas and Mozart sonatinas. Then, they moved onto some jazz pieces like Summertime and Fly Me to the Moon. Members got many compliments from seniors as they played. Members played romantic pieces, such as waltzes, and then they ended with some song requests from the seniors. They played What a Wonder World by Louis Armstrong, Hit the Road Jack, and many more.
