Oakland's Mother of The Year - 2005 For Immediate Release on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 Contact Rolanda Hartfield, (510) 238-7275 The City of Oakland, Office of Parks and Recreation, is launching its annual city-wide search for candidates for Oakland's Mother of the Year for 2005. Nominations are being sought from local community based organizations, businesses, professional associations, government agencies and non-profit community groups that may know of an individual, who shows an exceptional spirit of volunteerism, deserving this coveted award. Note that an individual must be nominated by an organization-not by a relative or personal friend. Nominations are due by 12:00 pm on Friday, March 25, 2005. Oakland's Mother of the Year program was initiated in 1954 to publicly honor an Oakland citizen whose contributions to the community symbolize the finest traditions of motherhood. Being a parent is not a requirement to be nominated for the Mother of the Year Award. Past honorees have included hard-working, dedicated community servants whose outstanding volunteerism is exemplary. Download a nomination form and award criteria, click here. A panel comprised of city officials, business leaders and community representatives will conduct the judging. Nominating organizations receive notification of the committee's decision by April 15, 2005. The 52nd Annual Oakland Mother of the Year will be honored on Saturday, May 7, 2005 at the newly restored Morcom Rose Garden, 700 Jean Street, Oakland, California at 10:30am. For more information please call (510) 238-7275. City of Oakland |
