On November 27, 2025, 4 members of the AYLUS San Clemente branch helped to volunteer at the 9th Annual Turkey Trot on The Ranch in Rancho Mission Viejo. Our members first headed over to the Guest House in Sendero to receive their volunteer vests and work packets, then they headed over to the Sendero Field via bus to help with the medal distribution and water stations. There were over 1,500 runners participating with many age divisions. At certain spots along the racecourse, members handed out water to any runners who were thirsty. At the finish line, members filled up water cups to hand out to thirsty runners. After the trot was finished, the members also helped to take down the sponsor banners from the race boundaries. The members were fulfilled and excited to start their Thanksgiving Day by volunteering for their community!
The members who participated in this event who each received 4 hours of volunteer hours:
Eastwood Zhang, Clint Zhou, Tanya Kaewmanee, Haowen Zhuang
