Do you have a neighbor who inspires you? How about someone who works selflessly for the benefit for those of us in the Arroyo? They might be Highland Park-Mount Washington Patch's person of the year?
We're looking for your nominations for locals who have worked to to make a real positive change in the neighborhood. They could be a teacher, a volunteer a business owner; anyone you think is making our neighborhood a better place to live.
Give us your nominations in the comments section below or at david.fonseca@patch.com.
Include why you think they should get our honor.
You might also mention the groups they're involved with and who you are, as we'd prefer no anonymous nominations.
Make those nominations by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20.
Then we'll be back at you with a chance to vote.
The winner will be profiled on the site, get a Patch T-shirt, and another special surprise.
I know we have lots of great people in Highland Park and Mount Washington--and a long history of public service and volunteerism--so get nominating.
Who knows we might even pick two--one from Highland Park and one from Mount Washington.
(Although I have to say, Ms. Saenz sounds pretty wonderful, too!)
But also, didn't Martha Benedict of ASNC make a big point of saying that she and Ms. Knapton were not the whilstle-blowers, that the audit was started by the City and that they just responded.
