                   HONORING MAUREEN AUBE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL H. MICHAUD

                         Tuesday, July 12, 2011

  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
accomplishments of Maureen Aube of Auburn, Maine.
  Maureen is the recent recipient of the Jim Phillips Award bestowed 
upon her by United Way of America. The Jim Phillips Award is given to 
an individual who exemplifies the missions, visions and values of the 
United Way. Jim Phillips served United Way in numerous capacities over 
the years: marketing committee, campaigner, board member and board 
chairman prior to his death in 2002. The award is now given to one whom 
exhibits a character of compassion that is visible

throughout his or her business, personal and family life.
  I have had the honor to know Maureen personally, and she more than 
meets these standards. The United Way of America defines community 
impact as ``mobilizing communities to create lasting changes in 
community conditions that improve lives.'' Maureen does just that. She 
has been a long-time volunteer with United Way, serving 4 terms on the 
Campaign Cabinet, as well as advocating for those in the National Guard 
and working on community revitalization and service projects through 
the Elks Club.
  In addition to serving on the Androscoggin County Chamber of 
Commerce, Maureen is also a volunteer for the Public Theatre, the 
L/A Film Festival and the Regional Plan Advisory Committee. She also 
serves on the Ben Hayes Support Fund Committee.
  Maureen has left a lasting mark on Androscoggin County and the state 
of Maine. On behalf of the people of Maine, it is with pride that I 
congratulate Maureen for her excellent work.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Maureen Aube on the 
receipt of this award and in thanking her for her dedication to the 
people of Maine.
