Norbert J. Hruby Emeritus Award
The Aquinas Norbert J. Hruby Emeritus Award is given as a tribute to an individual or couple in the community whose leadership, generosity and spirit of service have been sustained over the course of many years, and whose dedication to the welfare of all citizens serves as a light to guide those who follow. Each year, the recipients are honored in May at an annual gala, the Aquinas Emeritus.
