Sharon Rainey was not expecting the phone call that she received last month.
"I was very surprised — shocked is more like it," said Rainey, founder of the community e-mail network Neighbors Great Falls, formerly known as the FYInetwork, LLC.
John Quinn who works with community affairs and special projects at WJLA Channel 7 called Rainey to inform her that she had been selected as one of seven winners in its annual "Washington Area Toyota Dealers Tribute to Working Women." Rainey had no idea that she was even being considered for the honor, and as it turned out, two of her employees had taken it upon themselves to nominate her for the award.
