2026 Honoree: Michael McQuilkin
Michael McQuilkin is a musician, producer, innovator, and community builder whose creativity and generosity have brought joy and connection to the San Geronimo Valley for many years. He is the founder and producer of the beloved Family Music Hour, a unique community tradition that brings together families, friends, and performers of all ages and experience levels to rehearse and perform alongside an incredible professional band. What makes Family Music Hour so special is not only the final performance, but the months-long process behind it — rehearsals, mentorship, encouragement, con- fidence building, and community connection. Through music, Michael has created a space where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to participate and express themselves. Beyond Family Music Hour, Michael generously volunteers his time and talent for many other community events and fundraisers, including Howie’s Birthday Bash, the Holiday Art Fair, donor events, and Community Center galas, where he often lends his musical gifts at the piano. Whether organizing, rehearsing, performing, or simply showing up to help, Michael contributes with warmth, humility, and heart. We would also like to recognize all of this year’s nominees: Avis Licht, Bill Teufel, Carol Rebscher, David and Ruth Plant, David Bernard, Eddie Joe Chavez, Jim Fazackerley, Katie Rasmussen, Paul and Juliette Valente, Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang, Steve Kinsey, and Tony Miceli. Each has made meaningful and lasting contributions to life in the San Geronimo Valley, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication to our community. We invite the community to join us in celebrating these remarkable honorees, nominees, and the many volunteers who help make the San Geronimo Valley such a special place to live. We will honor our recipients and recognize community vol- unteers at a Volunteer Appreciation Barbeque on June 3rd at 5:00 PM in the San Geronimo Valley Community Center courtyard. Join us!
