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.

Thanksgiving saw a community making it HAPPEN!

The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM) was once again graced by donations from the Honorable Council Chair Calving Hawkins and Former Mayor Walter James represent the Prince George's County Office of Community Relations as they donated turkeys and other food items to make sure Mount Rainier's residents enjoyed the Thanksgiving Holidays.

Ms. Carolyn Samuel-King,(Calomiris YMCA), not featured here, also made major donations to The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM) to ensure Thanksgiving meals were on as many tables in Mount Rainier as possible but also delivered new coats for distribution to the women that needed them.

Lyons Bakery and Mount Rainier's own Chuck's Liquors showed up and showed out with dinner rolls for all one hundred and fifty-five Thanksgiving bags that were distributed. The dinner rolls were the rave of most of Thanksgiving. dinner tables in Mount Rainier.

And, yes, neighbors and friends contributed to the thankfulness of the season by knitting and donating scars and hats, and socks to participants of The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM)!

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.
