Holiday Tipping etiquette in condo building with on site staff:
“Is it customary in DC to tip the building manager, concierge, porter, etc. if you live in a nice condo building with on-site staff? I realize there are a wide variety of different apartment/condo building types so this may not be applicable to all.
My building has very friendly staff who build personal relationships with all residents and so I would like to give them something but I’m not sure what the appropriate amount would be. Does anyone in a similar type of building have any suggestions or know what is typical?”

Beware Petworth Package Thieves at Randolph and 8th ST NW:
“Last night, between 5:45 and 7:30 pm, several packages were stolen right off of our front porch (around 8th and Randolph St NW between NH and GA avenues).
The thieves struck during the hour that the house was unattended, leaving us to wonder if someone is casing the neighborhood as another reader suggested in a prior post. The thieves disgarded some of the opened packages and threw the remnants on the curb several houses away.
Please notify your neighbors and PoPville readers if you see any suspicious activity like this occurring nearby. Needless to say we will be getting all of our packages delivered to work in the future.”

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!
