Barbara Poldino has retired from her position as Director of the Lindenhurst Rainbow Senior Center after serving in that capacity for over 31 years. In that time, Barbara Poldino has overseen the physical and programmatic transformation of the Rainbow Senior Center into the bright, safe, vibrant, bustling community center that Lindenhurst is so proud of today. Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “We extend our congratulations on her well-earned retirement, and our best wishes for continued peace, love, happiness, and good health in the years to come.” The Lindenhurst Village Board declared October 22, 2019 as Barbara Poldino Day in Lindenhurst to commend and congratulate her on her retirement.

The Town of Babylon recently hosted a National Red Ribbon Week anti-drug campaign kickoff ceremony at Town Hall.  The event was sponsored by the Town of Babylon and the Lindenhurst and Copiague Community Cares Coalitions.  In special attendance was Gina Costa-Lieneck, who fought tirelessly for “Brianna’s Law” for stricter, boater-safety requirements in New York State after her 11-year old daughter was killed as a result of someone else’s negligence.
