Who is Petaluma's Person of the Year?

If you know someone or a group of people who made our city a better place over the past year, contributed time and effort to various causes or even made a personal impact on you, nominate him, her or the group (such as a nonprofit) here.

Add a comment to this story by Dec. 31. Back up your recommendation by including several reasons why that nominee is deserving. We'll compile the nominees and ask readers who they think should win. After a Person of the Year is selected, we'll will run a story about the winner.

You may nominate yourself, someone you've worked with or even someone you've just read about that you think deserves recognition. Any questions? Email karina@patch.com
