“Dear PoPville,
It’s that dreaded time of year again where the temperatures are rising but the heat is still mandated to be available in buildings per DC code until May 15th. This results in indoor temperatures nearing or exceeding 80 degrees with no air conditioning available (in buildings where tenants do not control the thermostat in this way).
Last year I started a petition to encourage the Council to revisit these regulations in light of climate change causing higher temperatures earlier in the year.
We got some traction on this last year with Ward 2 Council Member Brooke Pinto taking an interest but I haven’t seen any movement on legislation or research into the matter.
Can you please share the petition again to restart the conversation?
Let’s get some movement on this in 2024!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
