Our next online program will take place on Thursday, April 22 at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom, and we hope you'll join us. The topic is "Understanding Social Security."
Our speaker will be Jacqueline Zaragoza, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration. She will answer questions and provide an overview of social security, including retirement, Medicare, disability and survivor's benefits. Ms. Zaragoza has been with SSA for 34 years and has held every position in a field office and as an administrator. Most recently she was in management, responsible for 22 field offices.
This will be a free event, but you must register in advance. To register to attend, please email us. Within 24 hours, you will receive an acknowledgment of your registration. The Zoom link will be sent to you at 9:00 a.m. the morning of the meeting.

Pre-pandemic, many of us looked forward to seeing each other on Monday mornings, as a social outlet and a community connection. It’s still unclear when we’ll be able to meet again in person. We'd like to maintain the connection, however imperfectly, through periodic Zoom meetings, through this website and through emails to our mailing list. If you're not on our email list but would like to join it, please send us an email at palisadesalliance@gmail.com, and we'll add you.
We miss you. Stay well and stay safe!
