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.

SEARCHING FOR VETERANS IN/NEAR MOUNT RAINIER MD

Are you a soldier, veteran or reservist living in Mount Rainier? Are you a soldier, veteran or reservist and once lived in Mount Rainier? Do you know someone that falls in either of these categories? In November 2012, I would be honored to recognize them during the first Veteran Day service held in Mount Rainier in more than 40+ years. To put together the program and recognize our veterans, I need to collect names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and other information ASAP. I am working with the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs to make this an outstanding event.

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.
