“Dear PoPville,
Thursday morning (5/17) at 7:30am we are going to try to make a human chain to protect the bike lane near Trader Joe’s on 14th St. NW (Near 14th and T St.) The goal is to raise awareness of the need to protect cyclists and to encourage the city to do a better job of enforcing bike lane laws. This is the day before Bike to Work Day on Friday 5/17 so it seems like a good time to highlight the the need for better bike safety in DC, where at least 4% of commuters bike to work on a regular basis. Similar events have taken place in cities around the world with great success.
If you’d like to participate, just show up (wear red if you can) at 14th and T St. NW at 7:30am on Thursday 5/17. The event is being run under the auspices of the DC Department of Transformation (@DCDOTRA) and updates will be posted on Twitter under #MakeTheLane.”

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!
