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.

The Passing of Travis Britt, Husband of the Late Senator Gwendolyn Britt

As many of you probably already know, Travis Britt, Gwen Britt's husband, passed on December 26th.

His service will be at JB Jenkins Funeral Home on Saturday, January 17th -- visitation from 12:30-1:30, service at 1:30.

Travis, Jr., asked me to try to have the repast at the Gwen Britt Senior Center at 3:00. I'll call in the morning and see if I can arrange that. He also said he needs help with food for the repast. Dottie is coming up with a plan, and I'll help execute (and I hope as many of you can pitch in as possible!).

Please help spread the word. There's a link, below.

I know I don't have everyone on here who needs to know!

Mayor Malinda Miles

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.
