Dear PoP – Has Anyone Made a Will?

“Dear PoP,

So a group of my friends all made New Year’s resolutions to finally make wills – and here is it late April. If crazed DUI bicyclists happen to kill any of us, our families are tangled at best, screwed at worst. Don’t know if it’s a topic for Griffin & Murphy, or just the general Poputariat, but I know there are lots of homeowners here – what have others done about wills? Do you really need a lawyer? Can you just write something up and file it somewhere? What about online programs or places like Legal Zoom?”

Anyone out there have a Will? Anyone do it without a lawyer? Related: How ’bout a ‘living will’ or when to have them pull the plug in the hospital?

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!
