One of our own, Deborah Shangraw, was honored by WCSH Channel 6.  6 Who Care is a program that seeks to find and honor individuals who demonstrate exceptional service to their community.
 
                                           
 
To quote from the award: Deborah Shangraw is a champion for My Place Teen Center in Westbrook. As a member of their Advisory Council, she has advocated fearlessly for its funding (including her own generous contributions and her appeals to the Governor's office and the Legislature). She is a regular presence the MPTC, volunteering at least 20 hours each week with the kids. For 21 years Deb has been part of the Real Estate Managers Association Toys for Tots Drive – one of the largest of its kind in Maine; she served as the State Event Chair for six years. A devout churchgoer, Deb is deeply involved in meeting basic and emergency needs in the community (home heating oil; Thanksgiving baskets; clothing for those in need). Most often her help is given very quietly, with no expectation of recognition. Paul Emery says "Deb is an outstanding person combining great business acumen, personal warmth, devoted motherhood, and extraordinary generosity, giving money, energy, and time to organizations and individuals in need."
 
Congratulations Deb!!
