From MPD:
“PACKAGE THEFTS
During the upcoming holiday season, please be mindful of any package deliveries made to your home. Please note some of the package prevention tips that I have included below.
A CRIME OF OPPORTUNITY
Package thefts are crimes of opportunity. The Metropolitan Police Department would like to remind citizens to take extra care this time of year when having mail and packages delivered to their residence. Package thefts from doorstops and front porches during the day usually increase between the months of November and January. There are steps you can take to be proactive in keeping your package safe from theft.
PACKAGE THEFT PREVENTION TIPS
Encourage family and neighbors to pick up packages as soon as possible as after they are delivered.
Track your packages. Try to be present at the time of delivery. Many mail carriers allow you to track your shipment online:
FedEx: http://www.fedex.com/ca_english/track/
UPS: http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PriNav
USPS: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
DHL: http://www.dhl.com/en/express/tracking.html
Be neighborly. If you can’t pick up your mail ask a neighbor to do it for you. The U.S. Postal Service can also hold your mail if you travel during the holidays.”

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!
