Reported by Caien(Daisy) Chen :
On February 16th, AYLUS members helped at a local senior center. At Torrey Pines Senior living, the volunteers split into two groups, one which led the chair yoga activities and one which made the morning snack for the day, a fruit salad with cottage cheese. Before handing out the snacks, the members brought out all the residents outside to the wonderful sunlight. In the sun, they served the snacks and drinks while they talked with the residents. Then, they gave some of the residents manicures after their snacks. Finally, they brought the residents to lunch.

On February 16th, 2025, Murrieta AYLUS members played piano at their local senior center.
Upon arrival, members were greeted with a full room of seniors already awaiting them! They performed a variety of classical, jazz, and contemporary pieces to uplift the residents. As they played, seniors came and went but members still played with enthusiasm. During the last 15-20 minutes, members asked seniors for any song requests. Members did their best to play each song and will practice it at home to play again better next week.
