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.

Community Conversation at 7

Remember that community conversation that we started in 2017? Well, it is time for us to get back together and continue the conversation.

On Wednesday, January 17^th the Mount Rainier Police Department will host the first Community Conversation of 2018.

This month our conversations will take place at the Mount Rainier Nature Center located at 31^st Street and Arundel road starting at 7pm.

This meeting will be special as we will be combining our Community Conversation with the police department’s annual awards ceremony. We are extending a special invitation to our Mayor & Council and hope that each of you will be able to attend/join us as we recognize our officers and civilians for the excellent service they have provided to you and to the City.

Please join us for refreshments starting at 5:30pm. The awards ceremony will start at 6:30 continuing with 2018’s first Community Conversation at 7.

Most of us have varying levels of bias. The best of us are aware of these biases and work to overcome them. The worst of us don't and wallow in our ignorance.

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.
