November 2021
THE NAVIGATOR
GREETINGS FROM NATHAN PHILLIPS Our New Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
November is traditionally a time of giving thanks, so I want to share my appreciation
to the Northshore community for the warm welcome you have given me as I joined
the staff team two weeks ago. What a delight it has been to chat with members in the
coffee shop, at the Mill Creek open house, on the pickleball court, and in the historic
building at the Kenmore center. As I am learning more about the senior centers and the many
different programs we offer, it is clear that the community you have created together is still strong, in spite of all
the challenges created by the pandemic. I am grateful to the Northshore volunteers, donors, board members, and
staff—especially Brooke Knight—for keeping the center’s vital services like meal programs, transportation, and
health programs operating when many regular offerings were on hiatus.
November is also traditionally the harvest season. As we are gradually reopening programs and activities, the
Northshore staff team and I are interested in harvesting your thoughts about how we can rebuild the vibrant and
bustling community you are used to seeing at your centers. Several of you have already shared some suggestions
with me about how Northshore can build back, even bigger and better than before. Keep those great ideas
coming! We will be sending out a survey this month to collect more of your ideas, but feel free to also use the
suggestion boxes in our centers, or chat with your representatives on the Northshore Advisory Council.
Finally, November is a month of cornucopias, abundance, and giving. As 2021 comes to an end, please consider
donating to Northshore Senior Center to help us continue the vital services we provide in the community, and to
help us rebound from the pandemic. Your membership dues help support the programs
you enjoy at the center, but your philanthropic gift makes it possible to expand our
services to others who couldn’t otherwise afford to join us. Giving is easy and every gift
is important to our work; please look for the gift envelope in your mail this month, or find
the donate button of our website https://bit.ly/DonateTodayNSC.
Thank you again for being a part of the Northshore Senior Center community. In this
month of gratitude, harvest, and sharing, there is no place I would rather be.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT PER THE RECENT COUNTY MANDATE, PROOF OF
VACCINATION OR A NEGATIVE COVID TEST WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY INTO
ANY OF OUR FACILITIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
NATHAN PHILLIPS CEO

Nathan Phillips - CEO The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that we have
selected Nathan Phillips to succeed Brooke Knight as CEO of
Northshore Senior Center. After reviewing several outstanding
candidates, the Board determined that Nathan has the
experience needed to lead the senior centers out of the
pandemic and to grow our programs to meet the community’s
evolving needs.
In identifying a leader to take over for Brooke, the board was
impressed by Nathan’s previous work at the YMCA of Greater
Seattle where he served as the Chief Administrative Officer and
Regional Vice President. He also oversaw the design and
construction of the Kent YMCA which opened in 2019. Prior to
the YMCA, Nathan directed the South King Council of Human
Services and studied public policy and law at the University of
Washington. On sunny days, Nathan enjoys hiking and biking
with his family. Please join us in welcoming Nathan to the NSC family.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STAY ACTIVE & ENGAGED? CHECK OUT OUR IN-PERSON PROGRAMS.
Special Tax-Free IRA Gifts Making a gift to Northshore Senior Center from your IRA is a tax-wise way to enrich the lives of your family,
friends and neighbors. If you are 70½ or older, the IRA Charitable Rollover allows you to make a tax-free qualified
charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA. Gifts up to $100,000 are excluded from your federal income.
If you file a joint return, each spouse can exclude up to $100,000 for a maximum of $200,000 each year. This
charitable distribution will even count towards your required minimum distribution (RMD) once you are required
to take a RMD.
You can enjoy these special tax savings so long as:
• The distribution is made from either your Traditional or Roth IRA.
• The distribution is made to a qualified charitable organization, like Northshore Senior Center.
• The distribution is made directly by your plan administrator to Northshore Senior Center.
• A gift made from your IRA will never count as income but always make a difference!
How to Give
Contact your plan administrator and request a qualified charitable distribution be made directly to Northshore
Senior Center. It’s important to know that if you receive the distribution first and then donate the proceeds, the
gift will not count as a qualified charitable distribution. We encourage you to consult with your advisors to fully
understand the legal and financial impact of your charitable gift.
We’re Here to Help
If you and your advisors need more information about giving from your IRA, please contact: Nina McGuinness at
(425) 286-1054 or [email protected]
IRA Charitable Rollover Instructions
You can make a gift to Northshore Senior Center from your IRA by completing three simple steps.
1. Initiate the Gift:
The first step is to notify your plan administrator of your desire to make a gift directly from your IRA
to Northshore Senior Center. Ask your administrator to provide us with your name and address as the donor
in connection with the gift.
2. Send the Gift:
Sending a Check (Please ask your administrator to include your name with the check or ACH transfer)
Ask your administrator to send it to: Northshore Senior Center. Attn: Nina McGuinness 10201 E. Riverside Drive
Bothell, WA 98011.
3. Notify Us:
To ensure your gift is processed in a timely manner, it’s important that we know your IRA gift is on the way.
Please call: Nina at (425) 286-1054 or notify Nina by email at [email protected].
