Pataskala Street Fair Parade
The annual Pataskala Street Fair Parade in August 2003 was
again organized by our Rotary Club, under the chairwomanship of Judy Baird.
The theme was "Ohio's Bicentennial". The Grand Marshals were Tom and
Margaret Caw. The Rotary Club and the YMCA has a float which featured a
large pool with children playing in it -- the theme was "the pool is now open",
since the South West Branch of the Y is now operating Pataskala's municipal
pool. The club also sponsored the annual 5-K run held prior to the parade.
Relay for Life
Our club was well represented at the American Cancer Society's
"Relay For Life" held at Watkins Memorial High School.

Opening of the YMCA, SW Licking Branch
Our club joined the Pataskala Community in celebrating the opening of the
S.W. Licking Branch of the YMCA which opened January 8, 2004 under the Direction
of club member Dan Levitt in Jersey, Ohio. This event marked a milestone
in a three year effort and over $15,000 commitment on the part of the Rotary
Club of Pataskala to get the Licking County YMCA to open a branch in our
community. Thanks to Ben Whitehead and all the Club Members who worked to
fulfill this dream. The new Y branch has enjoyed much popularity as it
continues to develop programs for young and old alike in our community.
