If it's Thursday, it must be Recognition Thursday! Just like Tuesday was Guest Star Day at the old Mickey Mouse Club, Thursdays is Recognition Thursday here at Stately STC Manor. (At least until we've finished celebrating them all, that is!)
Last week we highlighted the Communities of Distinction and Communities of Excellence; this week we celebrate the members of our communities who have received a Distinguished Community Service Award. This includes those receiving (click each link to go to the list of that awards honorees):
- Distinguished Chapter Service Award
- Distinguished SIG Service Award

The three awards recognize an individual’s exemplary effort, energy, and dedication to their community and its activities. The Distinguished Community Service Award is the highest level of recognition that a member can receive for service to their community. Congratulations to all the honorees!
