November 2009
In December 2008, Josephine was blessed by the charitable remainder
unitrust gift of $400,000 from the estate of Bob and Marion Nicholas.
This very generous estate gift played a major role in establishing a
permanent endowment fund for Josephine. At the November 7, 2009
Josephine 2nd Annual Gala, the audience and family were
presented with a family video on the life of Bob and Marion. The legacy
of Bob and Marion will live on forever, assisting Josephine to continue
its mission of over 100 years of service to the Stanwood / Camano Island
community. Peace to the memory of Bob and Marion.
