NOMINATION OF C.R. ("BOB") COCILOVA FOR DUBLIN'S CITIZEN OF THE YEAR
If you don't know Bob Cocilova, you haven't been around Dublin very
long! Bob has been a major contributor to a variety of community service
projects for many years, but t will focus on his contributions this past year
for purposes of this award.
Bob is the creator of the Dublin Senior Center Foundation, and
continues to serve as its President. The Foundation raises funds for
amenities for Senior Center clients and for the new Senior Center expected
two years from now. Bob has been responsible for managing the
Foundation's fireworks booth each year, including all the heavy "grunt" work
of setting up and breaking down the booth and spending untold hours
stocking and selling fireworks. Bob arranges triips and tours for seniors and
serves as host. If you go on a trip with Bob you never have a problem,
because Bob solves every problem. Bob contributes a mini-newsletter to the
Center's "Dublin Doings" each month and is the "Bingo Master" on a monthly
basis as well. There is no task for seniors, large or small, that Bob can't do -
and he does them all well. His involvment with seniors would be a full-time
job, EXCEPT ......
that he also carves out many hours to serve the Lion's Club of Dublin.
He is currently the Treasurer, but he is also one of those rare people that
helps organize and do the grunt work for many of the C!ub's projects, e.g.
preparing food for the recent opening of the Emerald Glen Park. Bob has
barbequed more ribs and hamburgers and served more beans and potato
salad than it takes to feed the U.S. Army, and he's usually part of the
kitchen crew as well.
Bob and his wife Helen will be moving to Lincoln, CA this spring, and his
pending departure has made those of us who know him realize just how much
he will be missed, and how hard he has worked to make Dublin a great place
to live. Bob should be recognized with this award not just for his
contributions this past year, but for the thousands of hours he has devoted
to our City over the past many years. in addition to being a wonderful family
person and friend, he is the kind of citizen we hope everyone who lives in
Dublin will be.

AND 1;W1--IY YOU FEEL THIS FNDIIqDUAL IS DESERVING OF THIS RECOGNITION:
Tim Sbranti is a third year teacher at Dublin High School. We betlave he best exemplifies the qualities
the City of Dublin is seeking as its Citizen of the Year. Tim makes tremendous contributions in his role
as a teacher in the classroom. However, his contributions only begin there.
Tim is a Dublin High School graduate - Class of 1993. This in and of itself is not significant except to say
that when choosing a place of employment and residence, Tim made a conscious decision to return to
the City of Dublin. When he was questioned as to "Why you would want to come back to Dublin?" His
response typifies his commitment to our community. "1 wanted to come back to Dublin, because it
afforded me such a great opportunity and I wanted to give something back to my community - it's a great
place to live and work."
Tim has definitely "given back" significantly in his relatively short tenure returning to Dublin. He writes a
column entitled '~4round Dublin" for the Valley Times. He coaches three (3) Varsity sports at Dublin High
School - Men & Women's Tennis and Women's BasketbaR. Tim instituted the Leo Club, which is a
feeder to our City's Lion's Club- He is also on the Beard of Directors for Dublin Lion's and Dublin
Padhers in Education. He is Dublin High School's Student Activities Director thereby lending
tremendous support via our youth for the City of Dublin. He is the advisor for the Young Democrats and
Young Republicans Clubs. Tim is a member of the School District's Diversity and Heartbeat
Committees. Tim also supervises and is the site director for North Coast Section events.
You may wonder when this man sleeps.
