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.

Prince George's County Municipal Association Awards Lifetime Membership to Former Mayor Malinda Miles

On Friday, June 25, 2021, the Mayor of Upper Marlboro, MD, and President of the Prince George's County Municipal Association (PGCMA), Mayor Linda Pennoyer, came by to present me with my lifetime membership in PGCMA.

As a board member for years, I became the secretary, vice president, and president of PGCMA during my tenure as Mayor of the great little City of Mount Rainier, MD.

This is the first such honor bestowed on any Prince George's County elected official and probably the first of any affiliate of the Maryland Municipal League (MML).

WHAT an honor and privilege to receive the certificate from the incoming President of the Association.

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.
