LYNNFIELD — Dallas, Texas natives and sisters Pauline Finberg and Georgann Lieb have given back to the Lynnfield Senior Center for more than 20 years by serving as Friends of the Lynnfield Senior Center.
Finberg said she has been president of the Friends of the Lynnfield Senior Center for 18 years, while her younger sister has been the treasurer for three years. They are two of the members who serve on the organization’s board.
Although neither of the sisters live in Lynnfield, they work to keep the Senior Center running with donations and fundraising, Director Linda Naccara said.
“Their dedication — the whole group, but these two in particular — is a true gift because they are here all the time… They are tireless in their efforts,” she said. “I say, I get in bed at night and I think, ‘OK, I can live another day because I have this amazing support.’”
“I grew up old. I just wanted to continue to contribute to the town and felt that was a good way to do it,” Lieb said.
“I’m retired and I was looking for something that I felt would contribute,” Finberg said.
The town pays for the salaries of the employees, maintains the building, and provides a budget for office supplies, Naccara said.
“As far as any programming or the furnishings, that’s 100% the Friends,” she said.
