Saint Michael’s Foundation

The 19th annual Community Leadership Celebration took place Saturday, April 28, 2012, at the Stevens Point Country Club.  Over 180 people came together to honor E. George May, MD, John and Patty Noel, and Dennis Peterson with the Quality of Life Leadership Award.  This award is offered annually by Saint Michael’s Foundation in recognition of Portage County residents who have made significant contributions to enhancing the quality of life for citizens in the community and surrounding areas.

E. George May, MD

“I was fortunate enough to practice medicine in Stevens Point,” said Dr. May. “My field of endeavor was just as much of a benefit to me as it was to the individuals for whom I provided the services. Simply put, I received in return as much as I gave.”

John and Patty Noel

“This community has a high standard on the quality of life for all of its members,” said John and Patty. “That quality of life is why we are here and why we stay here, and why we were able to raise six children in a multi-cultural, multi-race family in this community. And we did it successfully because we never felt like we were standing alone. It’s our responsibility to give back to all those people who always stood by our side.”

Dennis Peterson

“I have learned that when you come to Stevens Point and get involved, you stay involved,” said Dennis. “You are part of the fabric of this community, you feel engaged, and you feel the support of the people in this community. I feel very blessed to be a part of it, welcomed into it, accepted and been allowed to participate in helping shape the community. It’s been a fun ride, and I must say that I hope it continues, because I’m not quite done just yet.”
