Reported by Adora Xiao :
On February 23, 2025, Murrieta AYLUS members volunteered at local senior centers.
Starting with taking some of the residents outside as the internet wasn’t working, the volunteers prepared light snacks with yoghurt and sliced fruit to cups for them to enjoy, then cleared and washed the cups once they were done. Afterwards, they started on a nail spa day. Celebrating one of the residents’ birthdays, they painted her nails first, then alternated with some of the other residents. Some only required touch ups but others had polish that was worn out, so the volunteers used remover to take out the old polish before using new colors of choice. After a small drying period and some walking, they went back to apply the topcoat. In the meantime they also enjoyed a musical performance, before taking the residents to their lunch.

Reported by Jessica Lu :
On February 23rd, 2025, Murrieta AYLUS played piano at their local senior center.
Most seniors were in the movies so nobody came in for the first 10 minutes. After the movie finished, more seniors came in and some even read books while listening to the piano music. During a piece, a senior teared up because it reminded her of something sentimental. Members took requests for the last couple of minutes and the seniors cheered and clapped along with the music. At then end, many seniors went to give members hugs.
Volunteers :
Aiying Lu / Hsin Chen(Julie) Lu / Jessica Lu : 2 pm – 3:30 pm / 1.5 hrs ea
