Top Baltimore neighborhood moms

For the second year, Baltimore City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is running a contest to find Baltimore's top neighborhood moms.

Recognized neighborhood associations have until April 14 to nominate women who have done exemplary work for the community. The winners will be honored at a luncheon this spring.

You can print the nomination form for moms here.

The thing I found most interesting was that you don't actually have to be a mom to win this contest. You just have to have been a great caretaker to a neighborhood -- its parent, if you will. Sort of the flip side of the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. Maybe it takes one inspiring person to raise a village....

Whom would you nominate as Baltimore's best neighborhood mom?
