Oakland Seeks Nominations for the 2007 Mother of the Year Award For Immediate Release on Thursday, March 1, 2007 The City of Oakland, Office of Parks and Recreation is launching its annual city-wide search for candidates for the Oakland Mother of the Year Award. Nominations are being sought from local community based organizations, businesses, professional associations, government agencies and non-profit community groups that know of an individual who shows an exceptional spirit of volunteerism and is deserving of this coveted award. Note that the individual must be nominated by an organization, not by a relative or personal friend. Nominations are due by Friday, March 30. The Mother of the Year program was initiated in 1954 to publicly honor an Oakland resident whose contributions to the community symbolize the finest traditions of motherhood and volunteerism; 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 has contributed positively to the livelihood of Oakland residents. Nomination forms and award criteria can be downloaded, click here. A panel comprised of City officials, business leaders and community representatives will review the nominations and select the honoree. Nominating organizations will receive notification of the committee's decision by April 16. The 54th Annual Mother of the Year will be honored at a special ceremony on Saturday, May 12 at the Morcom Rose Garden, 700 Jean Street, Oakland, California at 10:30 a.m. For more information, please call (510) 238-3094.
