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.

Mount Rainier Maryland:s Annual Parade of Lights -- Another Successful Year

And the Parade of Lights was an absolute success at The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM).

If it was not nailed down, we gave it away! Thank you to the ladies who always volunteer at TFPM.

Thank you to the neighbors, friends, and everyone else who stopped by, tried the hot apple cider, took some ginger snaps, or danish, and helped us move the food we set out just for you.

The music was loud, and the holiday spirit was in the air.

THANK YOU, Councilmember Danielle Carter, for making this all possible. Another Parad of Lights in the books!!!!

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.

More than one hundred (100) Children GOT THEIR WISHES this Holiday Season!
