Chamber Awards Area Businesses at Oscar Gala
The South County Chamber of Commerce recognized several local businesses at their awards banquet Wednesday.
Pamela Frederich said she hasn’t worked in years.
“My father told me, ‘If you find a job you love, you’ll never work again.’”
The nurse doesn’t call her job work, even though she attends to almost 2,000 students and started a diabetes support group at the school.
