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.

SENIOR HEALTH CENTER IS for SENIOR in Prince George's County!

Let me be real clear, SENIORS living in Prince George's County are invited to use the SENIOR HEALTH CENTER. The Center is located in Brentwood, MD and sits between Mount Rainier and North Brentwood. It has serviced senior from across Prince George's County but was created with those three municipalities in mind.

Betterment for United Seniors (BUS) led by Cora B. Woods and Neighborhoods United Project (NUP) worked together to create this resource so that senior did not have to rely on Prince George's County Hospital's emergency room. It has been around for almost 40 years. Throughout the past week, all I have heard is that SENIORS DID NOT KNOW that this service existed for them! IT DOES. WE NEED TO KEEP IT! It is a part of the County's health care system. It used to be a part of Dominion Health Care. It is now part of the University of Maryland Health Care System. JOIN this SHCC team and learn more as we work to keep the Senior Health Care Center open and make it the VITAL RESOURCE in our community that it should be!

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.
