“Dear PoP,
The Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure is taking place June 5th on the National Mall.
Last year, the race raised $4.7 million for local education and community outreach programs that work tirelessly to assist vulnerable populations. Some organizations that received grants this year include: Whitman-Walker Clinic on 14th Street, Food and Friends, Georgetown University and Sibley Memorial Hospital.
Anyone can sign up for the race here. I’m sure your readers appreciate the Race for the Cure and what its fundraising means within the DC community.”

“Dear PoP,
On May 18, the Columbia Heights Community Marketplace will be partnering with The Heights Restaurant (14th and Kenyon) to raise important funding for the CHCM. Ten percent of all sales from the night will be donated to the CHCM–so the more people eat and drink, the more funding will go to the Marketplace! If you would be interested in helping to spread the word to the community, it would be greatly appreciated!”

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!
