Thanks to a reader for passing on this press release from the Department of Defense:
“The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) hosted an Industry Day, March 19, to seek ways to leverage private-sector, multi-use development of 80 acres of Washington, D.C. property operated by AFRH to create lasting revenue for the Home.
“Our objective is to generate long-term income to support the Home’s mission of caring for our enlisted veteran residents,” said AFRH Chief Executive Officer Steve Rippe. “We’re looking to industry for creative solutions to maximize revenue to the Armed Forces Retirement Home and improve the community as a whole.
More than 100 organizations from across the real estate industry spectrum as well as community organizations attended the AFRH Industry Day event. Attendees came together to consider opportunities for better use of the 35 existing buildings and green space surrounding the Home, while preserving and reusing the site’s significant historic and cultural resources.
The AFRH is moving forward aggressively with its plans for private-sector development, with the goal of ensuring the Home’s financial stability for future generations of retired military personnel and to make capital improvements to care for new generations of veterans.
The AFRH is working with the General Services Administration (GSA) to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in the spring of 2018 and select a master developer whose submission best meets the criteria and objectives as set forth in the RFP.
The AFRH will host site visits in April with an additional Industry Day to follow.

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!
