Take your daughters/sons to work day events
ANGIE DASCHEL I Clackamas Print
Clackamas employees Kathy Bergin, Dawn Todd and Pete Frietas
brought family and friends to the "take our daughters/son to
work" luncheon held on Thur. April 27. The luncheon was hosted
by The American Association for Women and Community
Colleges. At the lunch, members of The Print interviewed guests
on video camera, asking questions such as: what job would you
like to have in the future, and what would you do if you had a million
dollars? The video was then played back for everyone to see.
