| Citizen of the Year: Emil Wroblicky
March 14, 2007
From the Palisadian-Post, weekly newspaper of Pacific Palisades, CA

Citizen of the Year Emil Wroblicky and his wife, Alice, have been married since 1950 and have lived in Pacific Palisades for 50 years. |

Marine Corps veteran Emil Wroblicky, who worked tirelessly last year on behalf of American Legion Post 283, the Palisades Fourth of July parade committee, and patriotism among young people, has been named Citizen of the Year for 2006.
Sponsored by the Palisadian-Post since 1948 (except for a one-year hiatus a year ago), the 'Citizen' award honors an individual or individuals who through unselfish efforts have made a lasting contribution to Pacific Palisades in the previous year that ideally promotes the town's environment and character and inspires and encourages a greater interest in civic affairs.
This is familiar terrain for Wroblicky, who was named California's Legionnaire of the Year in 2001 and who received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Palisadian-Post in 2002 in honor of his "dedicated passion for bettering the world around him."
'Emil is a super patriot and a special citizen of our town,' said Publisher Roberta Donohue. 'When he comes into our office I see a gentle man with a great big smile who has a true sense of dedication to his community.'
Monsignor Liam Kidney, pastor of Corpus Christi Parish, enumerated Wroblicky's many ongoing contributions to the Palisades community in his nominating letter. In addition to serving on the PAPA parade committee and arranging for a Marine marching band, a mounted color guard and a reviewing officer last July, Wroblicky was a guest speaker at Corpus Christi School, where he 'talked to the children about the veterans and their sacrifice for our country,' Kidney said. 'He also arranged to have other veterans speak to elementary school children in our community,' something he does every November.
Outside the community, Wroblicky served as state chairman and American Legion representative for the Bob Hope tribute monument, built next to San Diego Harbor and dedicated last October 25.
Former Citizen of the Year Kurt Toppel also nominated Wroblicky for this honor, noting that the former football coach (at Saint Monica High and Cal State Los Angeles) 'has contributed and is still contributing so much to our Palisades community that he would be an excellent choice [for 'Citizen'] and as a role model for others.'
Wroblicky will be honored at a banquet in the American Legion Hall on Thursday, May 17, along with the Community Council's Sparkplug Award winners.
