I have officially been endorsed by Dearborn Heights Professional Firefighters Union! Thank you Senator David Knezek, Captain Mickey Wiewura, and Lieutenant Phil Hall for a great day at the Dearborn Heights Fire Fighters 25th Annual Chili Cook Off!

I want to thank everyone for their support!

The big day is tomorrow August 8th. Please come out and vote!

Today was the annual Dearborn Heights Senior picnic and yes, I was there as a member! Two great ladies my friend Henrietta who is 94 and my friends mother Joan Trela. Both Joan and I won a certificate towards a senior trip. More great times to come. Oh and Joan also won a large amount of money on the share the wealth drawing. Lucky lady!

Coming to a yard near you! Signs are here and I have a few left if anyone would like one send me a private message with your address.

While out walking today I ran into one of our wonderful residents Henrietta. She is a long time resident with a wealth of knowledge. I just stopped to talk with her and next thing I knew I was given a tour of her Art Studio and garden. In a few weeks we are going to the Berwyn Senior Center for coffee. I can't wait til our next visit!

My family and I have been a part of the Dearborn Heights community and St. Linus Church parishioners since 1962. After spending most of my childhood in Dearborn Heights I moved back and have personally owned property in the city since 2003. Many of my family members are currently living in our community. I am also a member of the Polish League of American Veterans (PLAV Post #16).

I am a proud graduate of Crestwood High School (class of 1978), a Henry Ford Community College Alumnus, and a graduate of Madonna University with a Major in Business Management.

I spent a large part of my career at AT&T hiring in the same year I graduated, where I held various positions in a leadership capacity. I also held positions during that time as a union steward and chief union steward. Simultaneously, I worked as a licensed real estate agent from 1993 to 2012. I formally retired from both positions.


There are many things that are important to me in the city of Dearborn Heights. However, four issues stand out to me.

1. The city needs to have equitable code enforcement. In order to attract new businesses and residents, our city needs to make a good first impression. I will advocate improved efficiency in the ordinance Department and back it up with the tools that they need to do the job.
2. City Hall needs to be open five days a week! The business of our city cannot be conducted in four days. Residents, contractors, and city employees are all affected by this situation. I will support contract negotiations that support this change.
3. I believe that government must be transparent. At the present time, information is not easily available to residents. I will work with all our elected officials to remedy this situation immediately.
4. Our city roads have deteriorated over many years. There are many streets that are in poor or fair condition in our community. I will work to make certain that road dollars are used efficiently and grant opportunities are explored.

My name is Denise Malinowski Maxwell. You may know me by both names. I spent my childhood in Dearborn Heights and I'm choosing to spend my retirement in Dearborn Heights. I am deeply concerned about the future of our community. I am committed to listening to your concerns and taking action on your behalf. I have the time, I have the energy, and I have the passion!

I ask for your vote in the election on November 8th. Thank you!

It is with great gratitude I wish to thank the esteemed State Senator Mr. David Knezek for his endorsement of my candidacy for Dearborn Heights City Council. I am humbled and honored to have been recognized by such a strong civil servant. I welcome the opportunity to serve the citizens of our great city.

Today was such an important day I received an official endorsement from Dearborn Heights Councilman Ray Muscat. It is such an honor to have his support.

The Poppy Story
From the battlefields of World War I, weary soldiers brought home the memory of a barren landscape transformed by wild poppies, red as the blood that had soaked the soil. By that miracle of nature, the spirit of their lost comrades lived on.

The poppy became a symbol of the sacrifice of lives in war and represented the hope that none had died in vain. The American Legion Auxiliary poppy has continued to bloom for the casualties of four wars, its petals of paper bound together for veterans by veterans, reminding America each year that the men and women who have served and died for their country deserve to be remembered.

The poppy, as a memorial flower to the war dead, can be traced to a single individual, Moina Michael. She was so moved by Lt. Col. McCrae’s poem, “In Flanders Fields,” that she wrote a response:
. . the blood of heroes never dies
But lends a luster to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders’ Fields.

On impulse, she bought a bouquet of poppies – all that New York City’s Wanamaker’s Department Store had – and handed them to businessmen meeting at the New York YMCA where she worked. She asked them to wear the poppy as a tribute to the fallen. That was November 1918. World War I was over, but America’s sons would rest forever “in Flanders’ Fields.” Later she would spearhead a campaign that would result in the adoption of the poppy as the national symbol of sacrifice.

I finally got my page published. I will be adding more information soon. I'm not new to Facebook but I am new to this type of page. I'm asking everyone on my page to please add any Dearborn Heights residents to my page so they can follow me. Thanks.
