Marshfield, MA (PressExposure) January 20, 2010 -- During the evening, the club will honor former Marshfield Selectman and Town Moderator Jim Robinson and his wife Maureen for their support of and dedication to the Boys and Girls Club and families in the area. Both grew up in Marshfield - Jim graduating from Marshfield High in 1972 and Maureen in 1973. Their two sons, Brian and Sean are also MHS graduates.
Over the years, Jim, who is the founder of Dynamic Results (Pembroke), has served the town of Marshfield in various capacities. In 1979, he was appointed to the Advisory Board.
