On June 30th, 2024, Murrieta AYLUS members helped local senior centers.
At Torrey Pines Senior Living: The volunteers passed out juices and waters to the residents so that they could hydrate, before beginning a workout. Stretching out their necks, arms, legs, and ankles, the residents were led through breathing exercises at various intervals. They were then given water to rehydrate as well as some light snacks. The volunteers helped feed residents unable to eat by themselves, giving them pudding. They also danced with the residents and enjoyed the light music played on the TV. The volunteers then used hand cream to give the residents hand massages which they appeared to particularly enjoy, before taking the residents to the dining room.

On June 30th, 2024, Murrieta AYLUS members played piano at their local senior center.
Members said hello to seniors sitting outside before heading inside towards the library. Members started by playing some slow, romantic pieces which one of the senior couples there started to sing to and danced in their seats. Then, they switched to more jazzy pieces and finished off with popular pieces such as The Entertainer, The Piano Man, and more. When members finished, the seniors came up to them and gave them some hugs.
