The Stanley Community Association and Martino’s Restaurant have joined together to create the “High Five Award.” This award will be given out monthly to a member of the community that has gone above and beyond to serve others and the area around them. We wanted to mirror the important traits that National Honor Society highlighted on the benches around town. It is important not only to recognize the traits that make Stanley great but also the individuals that enhance our city; people should be celebrated for their contribution therefore we have chosen 5 character traits that we would like to honor with this award. The traits include being supportive, trustworthy, nurturing, loyal and extraordinary in action. Members of the community are encouraged to nominate a fellow community member for next month’s award by filling out a nomination form available at our website www.stanleycommunity.us, visiting our facebook page or pick up a nomination form at Martino’s Restaurant or Reclaimed Tavern. Winner receives the High Five Award certificate and a Martino’s Restaurant gift card.

(Left to Right) Ron Haas, Owner Martino's, Nicole Witt
The November High Five Award has been awarded to Nicole Witt, local mom and the current SCA Secretary. The nominator said the following about her “I nominate Nicole Witt to receive the High Five award. She exemplifies each of the character traits but she especially demonstrates the trait: “extraordinary”. Nikki is extraordinary in her post as SCA secretary as demonstrated by her creative ideas for service/entertainment project details, organizing and promoting events. She remains upbeat and encouraging even when obstacles threaten to overwhelm volunteers (supportive/nurturing). Being supportive and nurturing shows in her support of area foster families and seeking to provide opportunities for moms of young children to gather together. I witnessed this at a recent D.R. Moon Library event when she interacted with two young women new to Stanley along with their young children, gathering contact information to share with a new Mom’s Group. In addition, Nikki is loyal promoting Stanley as a family friendly town and trustworthy to seek donations for the many family friendly events sponsored by SCA and other Stanley organizations. Thank you Nikki for sharing your time and talents” On behalf of the Stanley Community Association and Martino’s Restaurant we thank you for your dedication to the Stanley Community Association and the city of Stanley. Members of the community are encouraged to nominate a fellow community member for next month’s award by filling out a nomination form available at our website www.stanleycommunity.us, visiting our Facebook page or pick up a nomination form at Martino’s Restaurant, Harris Family Chiropractic or Reclaimed Tavern.
