Mother’s Day is Sun., May 9, and The Acorn wants your mom to receive 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 a few kind words for Mom, your thoughts are important.

Even if she’s passed on, we’d still like to hear about her.

Write to the Thousand Oaks Acorn, 30423 Canwood St., Ste. 108, Agoura Hills, CA 91301, or e-mail tomoms@theacorn.com. Be sure to include your name and hometown.

Submissions must be received no later than noon Mon., May 3 and will be printed on a firstcome basis. Love notes not printed in the paper will appear online at www.theacorn.com.

Remember: your name, hometown, 100 words.

Mom will love you!
