From DCJCC:
“On Christmas Day, 1,000 volunteers will spread out across the Washington area to prepare food for the homeless, visit senior citizens, decorate and host Christmas parties at shelters, serve meals to those in need, donate blood, provide needed maintenance and repair at community centers, wrap gifts, and help children experience the magic of the holiday season. For the 27th year, the Washington DCJCC is convening volunteers of all ages for planned Christmas Day service activities through D25.
“D25 is a chance for everyone – whether children, teens, college students, adults, or families or groups of friends to find a way that speaks to them to share the holiday spirit with others in the community,” said Erica Steen, Director of Community Engagement at the DCJCC, who is in her eighth year of directing the event. “What better way to be thankful for what we have and to consider how we can better the lives of our neighbors than in coming together in service on such a special day?”
Details on D25 follow. A list of projects can be found at the Washington DCJCC’s D25 homepage. Volunteer opportunities include on-site activities at the DCJCC as well as at more than 60 social service agencies throughout Washington and the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. Most activities are two to four hours.”

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!
