Member Ocamb Honored
As if Press Club board member Karen Ocamb isn’t busy enough, co-producing the awards gala with club Executive Director Diana Ljungaeus. Now Christopher Street West, the organization that throws the second largest Gay Pride event in the U.S., has named Ocamb its Woman of the Year. Luckily she only has to show up and wave. Karen will be feted June 13th. Hearty congratula- tions to Karen for a richly deserved honor.
