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.

CERT TRAINING AVAILABLE -- APRIL 6 & & 2013

Hello RESIDENTS of the City of Mount Rainier,

There is an upcoming Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training scheduled for Saturday, April 6 and April 7, 2013 beginning at 9:00 A.M. The CERT training has been successful in Prince George’s County by word of mouth. I am clear of our success! Along with the great CERT instructors and interested residents from municipalities like yours, the CERT program has been a great emergency preparedness training experience.

I am emailing you to inform you of the April 6 & 7, 2013 CERT training and ask that you share the attached information with your constituency. I encourage you to share with your family, friends and neighbors to register for the training. I am personally inviting you to register and participate in this very important training.

Please see the attached documents for registration information and additional information about CERT.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you,

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.
