Mother's Day is May 14 and the Moorpark 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 that you have, a small story you'd like to tell, or just some kind words for mom, your thoughts are important. But remember, only 100 words, please.

Write to Moorpark Acorn, 2660 Townsgate Rd, Ste. 700, Thousand Oaks, CA 91361 or send an e-mail to

moorpark@theacorn. com and be sure to include your name and hometown. Entries should be typed or printed.

All submissions will be printed in the May 12 Moorpark Acorn.
