Happy Birthday, Rotarian Jim!
80 Glorious Years!
The Morris Rotary Club honored its oldest active member with a special birthday recognition recently. Jim Pasternak, who joined Rotary in 1966, celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4, 2012.
Pasternak, who retired from the financial department of the State University College at Oneonta in 1992 after 30 years of service, is widely known for his community service. He served on the board of Habitat for Humanity in Otsego County for many years. He also made seven annual trips to Honduras to work on various humanitarian projects.
Jim and wife Kay now spend their winters in Zephyrhills, FL. He still attends Rotary regularly in both New York and Florida. Daughter Carolyn (pictured with her happy dad) is also a Morris Rotarian. Carolyn Pasternak will serve as club president in 2014-2015.
