Virginia Ream, a long-time volunteer at the SHADOW Home for Women and Children, was selected this week as the latest recipient of the NEWSTALK WTIM Central Illinois Smiles Family Dentistry "Big Smile for the Community" award.

Ream has been a volunteer at the home since just after opening in 2001, and tells Regional Radio News she's been a host at the home when needed.

Ream says the SHADOW Home is a shelter for women and children, and has been very helpful in its many years of existence.

Ream tells Regional Radio News that there have been a lot of success stories about women who have stayed at the SHADOW Home.

Ream will be presented a certificate from NEWSTALK WTIM and Central Illinois Smiles Family Dentistry, for bringing a "Big Smile for the Community."
