Nominate Brookfield Patch's People of the Year

Using the form available here tell us about a fellow community member who impressed you with his or her dedication to the area.

At Patch, we know it's important to pause and recognize the community members who make the neighborhood a better place, each and every day. Who contributed time and effort to planning that great event, or helping out a fellow resident in tough times? Maybe it's that person's positive spirit that impacts the community. Perhaps the person you're thinking of performs one of those "thankless" jobs we just can't live without.

No matter the reason, we'd like to hear about him or her, so go ahead and nominate a person using the form below.

Be sure to fill out all of the fields by 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 24 and we'll announce the 2012 Brookfield Patch People of the Year during our annual Year in Review Dec. 24-28.
