Opportunity for High School Seniors in the Maryland Legislative Page Program
Below is a letter from Delegate Saqib Ali with information regarding the Maryland Legislative Page Program:
SAQIB ALI
DEMOCRAT, DELEGATE
DISTRICT 39
“Fresh Ideas, Bold Vision, Strong Leadership”
Dear Friend,
I am writing to inform you of an excellent educational and political opportunity for Maryland high school seniors.
Every year, students from across Maryland come to Annapolis in the winter/spring to participate for two weeks in the Maryland Legislative Page Program. In their roles as Legislative Pages, these students receive an insider’s look and get to actively participate in Maryland’s legislative process.
Participants in the Legislative Page Program are selected from a large pool of applicants to spend two weeks throughout the legislative session (January - April) interacting with members of Maryland’s General Assembly and performing various tasks to support the work of members and staff. Legislative Pages get inside access to Senators and Delegates. Pages do everything from assisting visitors to the State Capital to delivering messages to members on the floor of the Senate and House. Best of all, Montgomery County Public School system gives them excused absences from their school to do this work!
I encourage all high school seniors to apply for this excellent program. Many Senators and Delegates were themselves once legislative pages. If you are a high school senior or know one who is interested in the program, please learn more about and apply for this program by clicking here.
Applications are due by October 24th and final selections will be announced by October 31.
Good luck to all who apply! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the Legislative Page Program or any other matters of importance to you.
Warmest Regards,
Delegate Saqib Ali
http://www.saqibali.org
(301) 685-3409
P.S.: High school seniors who attend private schools or schools outside Montgomery County should contact their guidance counselors for information about the Legislative Page Program.

At-Tauba (The Repentance)
9:71 The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practice regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.
At-Tauba (The Repentance)
9:75 Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give (largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous.
