From Airbnb:
“Airbnb, the world’s leading community driven hospitality company, announced today that its Washington, D.C. host community earned a total of approximately $96 million in supplemental income while welcoming approximately 517,500 guest arrivals to the nation’s capital in 2018.
This comes as D.C. residents increasingly embrace the home sharing platform as an opportunity to earn supplemental income and make ends meet. There are now over 6,300 hosts citywide who share their home via Airbnb, typically earning about $10,000 annually in supplemental income.
“This 2018 data clearly shows that home sharing is instrumental to the financial future of thousands of D.C. families as well as our city overall,” said Liz DeBold Fusco, spokesperson for Airbnb. “Each of these $96 million is another dollar in the pockets of the seniors, teachers and many others who sharing their home to make ends meet. And at the same time, each of these 517,500 guests is another customer for our local restaurants and small businesses, helping to boost their bottom line. Short-term rentals are an economic engine — one that we will continue to fight to protect as we kick off 2019.”

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!
