The Way We Were: Shared Memories of a Village Lost (Santa Monica Mosaic)

Please email info@smconservancy.org directly for the webinar details if you register AFTER noon on the day of the program, March 16th.

An afternoon livestream event celebrating the history of the Palisades with historians and journalists, business members, and community leaders, who have made a lasting impact in their local community and present their stories of heritage and loss from the Palisades wildfire.

For this episode of Santa Monica Mosaic, four key members of our devastated neighboring community, Pacific Palisades, will reflect on the region's rich history, fond memories of life in their cherished village, and their hopes for the recovery ahead. With a deep connection to the Palisades spanning decades, Mosaic moderator Libby Motika will lead conversations with the former editor of the Palisadian-Post; a longtime community advocate; and a member of the founding family of a beloved legacy business, destroyed in the fire.  The discussions will begin with an overview of local history by the curator of the Pacific Palisades Historical Society—a program partner that will contribute a wealth of historical photos to the show.
