Palisades Alliance for Seniors, an intergenerational group that hosted meetings and events prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, will not be re-starting, according to a letter shared by the group’s board in October.

“We’ve received quite a few inquiries asking if/when we will recommence the robust programming we previously ran,” the letter read. “We too miss the joy and connection of those pre-COVID biweekly meetings at the library. Sadly, however, for logistical reasons we won’t be re-starting.”

The nonprofit, which aimed to support seniors in staying connected with their community, has been dissolved, with assets transferred to Meals on Wheels West. The letter offered additional information about senior programming in the Palisades.

“At the Palisades Branch Library, there are a number of free upcoming programs that may be of particular interest to seniors,” the letter continued. “You may remember the Stop Senior Scams Acting Program that performed for us in the past. The troupe will present its scams awareness program at the library on Wednesday, November 15, at 11 a.m.”
