JOSIE ROBERTSON Obituary

ROBERTSON--Josie. The Women's Board of The Boys' Club of New York acknowledges with great sorrow the passing of Josie Robertson, a dearly loved member and friend. Josie served on the Women's Board since 1978 and as its president from 1983 to 1986. We always sought her counsel, trusted her judgment and appreciated her wisdom and kind heart. We were pleased to honor her at our Spring Dance in 2007 for her dedication to the boys served by The Boys' Club. The event was the most successful ever held by The Boys' Club and Josie was surprised that evening by the naming of BCNY's music and art program as the Josie Robertson School of Music and Art in tribute to her passion for the arts, support of education, and devotion to helping children. Our condolences to her husband, Julian, and her loving family. Our lives were all made richer by knowing her. The Women's Board
