“Dear PoPville,
Hi everyone – We would like to thank all of you for your kind words and support since we lost our puppy Pip on April 12. As you’ll recall, she was hit by a car while on a walk during a weekend boarding at Wagtime. We’ve spent the past few months trying to learn more about what happened and discussing our next steps. We want to share with you today that we’ve filed a lawsuit against Wagtime and its owners. You can read the complaint below.
Complaint against Wagtime (PDF)
As you’ll see, we were disturbed to learn of many discrepancies between eyewitness accounts of the accident and what Wagtime’s owners told both us and the police about the circumstances of Pip’s death – where and how the accident occurred, who was walking our dog, whether she was wearing her proper harness and leash and even the condition of our dog when she was transported to the vet. We were told that Pip had survived the accident and was alive (but laboring), when in fact we learned later that she died at scene. We hope you’ll read the full details in the complaint. It’s been heartbreaking for us to have to spend the months following our dog’s death having to piece together what really happened, but it’s very important to us that the truth gets out.
Thank you again for all of your support. – Julie and Mike”

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!
