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.

Busboys and Poets in Hyattsville will host book readings and signings for the works of several Gateway Arts District authors from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 24.

Barbara Morris of Hyattsville, coordinator for the Gateway Arts District Authors, an informal coalition of local authors, said the highlight of the event will be a reading of “Viktor IV”, written by the late Hyattsville resident David Levy.

The book, about Levy’s friend, an American expatriate living in Amsterdam, will be read by its publisher, Carolivia Herron, who is also author of the children’s books “Nappy Hair” and “Asenath and the Origin of Nappy Hair”, Morris said.

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.
