In announcing the donation to over 600 Bellevue civic and community leaders attending the Bellevue Rotary dinner and auction, Katri said "Our firm is celebrating its 55th year on the Eastside and many of our clients are associated with leading the charge of taking PACE from a vision to a reality. We applaud their efforts and want to partner with them in this key initiative for our community."
He went on to add, "We believe that PACE will provide a catalyst for strong economic growth for the entire Eastside and provide rich cultural opportunities for our residents for years to come. Our gift is our way of saying thanks to the Eastside business community and is a special recognition of Bob Nuber's long-standing commitment to community service."
