J. Forest Marshall, a current member of the Boys Home Board of Trustees, was awarded the VACH Distinguished Volunteer Award. He served as chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board - this committee was instrumental in planning the new building projects on campus. Forest was elected to the Boys Home Hall of Fame in 1999. Having served in the U.S. Air Force in Germany, Forest is a director and treasurer of the U.S. Air Force Association. He and his wife Geraldine continue their generous support of Boys Home.
Forest is always willing to volunteer for any program to assist the residents.
Recently, we have provided information to help those interested in naming Boys Home, Inc. as a beneficiary for charitable annuities, trusts, wills and life insurance policies. The Navigator Society recognizes those supporters that have made a planned gift to Boys Home to benefit our mission for future generations. The next Navigator newsletter will address some considerations about charitable giving. Gift planning is vital to the future of Boys Home. We remain committed to the mandate from the Board of Trustees that no boy be denied services due to financial circumstances.
