Support Independent Grounds Coffee House “that will provide job training to adolescents with autism in DC”

“Dear PoPville,

I am writing to ask for you to support a cause that is near and dear to my heart. As many of you know, I am involved in a movement to open a non-profit coffee shop that will provide job training to adolescents with autism in the Washington, DC area. I have an amazing group of dedicated and experienced people on my team. We are at the point where we are trying to get our fundraising rolling!

In an effort to get our crowdfunding campaign to trend, we are looking to get some action on the GoFundMe page in a systematic way. If we get enough traffic on the site at the same time, we might be featured as the spotlighted campaign on the GoFundMe website! This is how you can help… Please make a contribution (any size donation helps tremendously – as little as $20 can go a long way) between 12:30 and 2pm.

Independent Grounds Coffee House is working to provide life skills and real-world work experience to young adults with autism. Please donate today!”

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!
