“Paula Green of Shrewsbury remembers when she was unable to join a YMCA.

“I grew up in the 1950s and ‘60s in New Jersey when the Y was for men only,” she noted. “I remember my brother and friends going to the Y and didn’t understand why I couldn’t go. Obviously, things have changed over the years.”

At this year’s 151^st annual meeting of the YMCA of Central Massachusetts, held at the Boroughs Family Branch YMCA in Westborough, Green received the George I. Alden Award. It’s the highest honor given annually to a member who has had a significant impact on the Y.

Also at that meeting, she was installed as chair of the YMCA of Central Massachusetts Board of Directors. She’s only the second woman to hold that volunteer position. The first was Dr. N. Lynn Eckhert of Southborough from 2002 to 2004, the year the Boroughs Y opened.”
