Tell us why your mother is the greatest

Mother's Day is Sun., May 13 and the Thousand Oaks Acorn wants your mom to get the recognition she deserves.

In 100 words or less, please write and tell us why your mother is special. Whether it's a poignant memory, a small story you'd like to tell or just some kind words for the mom you love, your thoughts are important. But remember, no more than 100 words, please.

Send it by mail to Mother's Day, Thousand Oaks Acorn, 2660 Townsgate Road, Ste. 760, Thousand Oaks, CA 91361, or via computer e-mail to tonewstip@theacorn.com. Be sure to include your name and hometown.

All submissions will be printed in the May 10 T.O. Acorn, but they must be received no later than noon Sat., May 5.
