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.

Still need TURKEYS, GIFT CARDS, PERISHABLE and NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS

My State Senator called to pledge ten (10) turkeys for the families in our community that needs help this holiday season! That brings our turkeys up to 18. My young neighbor and friend Brian has also pledged to help me with this project. We may not make the forty (40) turkeys needed, but we will make a difference in the lives of some of our neighbors. Need to know what is needed and how you can help?

Here is how you can help!

Pick one or more of these items perishables: turkeys, hams, chickens, fresh greens, eggs, sweet potatoes, pie shells, celery, fruit, butter, milk (whole, can), whip cream, bread, pies and cakes etc.

Pick one or more of these items -- non-perishables: can goods (yams, cranberry sauce, green beans, bread crumbs, jiffy mix, can broth, etc. Gift cards that will allow recipient to purchase his/her own food.

Keep it simple. Deliver EVERYTHING TO CITY HALL. I will check and pick up every day.

I will be publishing your name on my blog to say Thank You for the love!

Food items will be delivered to Thomas Stone Elementary and Mount Rainier Elementary on Tuesday, November 26. PLEASE drop off all items by close of business Monday, November 25!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

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.
