"Thomas Concludes Term as Stark County Dental Society President"
Dr. Michael Leahy Thomas of Thomas & Associates, DDS, concluded his presidency of the Stark County Dental Society at the Friday, December 18th General Membership Meeting. Joining the Board in 1994, Thomas has held an Executive Board Seat since 1997, the second longest tenured Executive Board member in the history of the Society. Thomas’s term as President was highlighted by raising a $100,000.00 donation for Mercy Medical Center’s Dental Department by bringing in OSU Coach Jim Tressel and the successful relocation of the Society’s Executive Offices.
A graduate of Louisville High, the University of Notre Dame, and receiving his doctorate from The Ohio State University, Thomas lives with his wife, Julie Thomas, DDS, and two sons in Louisville.
He is Vice-chair of the Stark State College Board of Trustees; founder of the Canton Community Clinic’s Department; the Vice-President of Notre Dame Club of Canton; Louisville High’s Team Dentist; Southgate School Dentist; and a St. Louis Parish usher and Finance Council member. He has previously received the 2007 Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award and Ohio Dental Association’s N. Wayne Hiatt Rising Star and Marvin M. Fisk Humanitarian Award.
Thomas is the son of Elden and Janet Thomas of Louisville, Ohio.
"Evening with Tressel"
After almost a full year of planning, the "Evening with Tressel" took place on Monday, March 16th. OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel graciously greeted about 120 OSU VIP Sponsors in an upstairs private cocktail reception and was glad to shake hands, sign autographs and pose for photos. Following the reception, close to 300 people enjoyed a sit-down dinner in the Timken Great Hall. Coach Tressel then spoke to the group with quick wit and insight with a talk that focused on helping others and taking care of yourself. The purpose of this fundraiser was to raise awareness and funds for the Mercy Medical Dental General Practice Residency Program, and this event raised over $55,000. The Stark County Dental Society remains active in the design and substainablilty of the clinic and residency program which provides post-graduate education to dentists and dental care to the underserved. Since its inception, the clinic has recorded over 9,000 patient visits and provided more than $850,000 in care.
