From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

Please act accordingly, and let your Council person and/or the City Manager know, if this poses and undue hardship for you.

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.

With the MML Summer Convention just around the corner, it is high time for PGCMA members and PGCMA Partners to purchase tickets to our Summer Scholarship Breakfast. This is one of two fundraising activities that we hold annually, and we all know that the funds go to a GREAT CAUSE -- helping our youths who live in municipalities go to college or otherwise advance their education. This year alone, we were able to award SEVEN (7) $1,000 scholarships to seven young people that are pursuing a college degree. These awards have only been made possible by your attendance at our fundraisers, and the continued support of three businesses in our community. The purpose of this email, is to ask you to make sure that you and your delegation to this year's MML Summer Convention, purchase tickets and attend OUR PGCMA SCHOLARSHIP BREAKFAST!
