Thanks to Darryl for sending from Facebook
I’m starting to get an email a day about another incident. If you’re not gonna be home you may wish to find alternative methods.
Here are a few:
“Happened on Kenyon St NW between 11th and 13th. We have been getting a lot of package thefts (nearly weekly) and finally put up a camera last week. This guy is riding around on his bike and looking for visible packages on porches. The packages were visible because a UPS driver very lazily threw the packages from the bottom of the stairs.”
“We had a package stolen in the 1400 block of Taylor St NW.”
“We were away this past weekend through Tuesday. We left a note on the door asking delivery services to please not leave any packages. I’ve attached 2 videos. The first is from Tuesday at about 130pm, of the UPS guy scanning packages for delivery, clearly looking at the note on the door, then instead of not leaving the packages, just kicking them into the bushes next to the door. The second is from Tuesday at about 430pm of some guy stealing all of our packages.
Perhaps we were naive to think that the note would work. And honestly I had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, we didn’t want delivery services to leave any packages while we were gone. On the other, it seemed like there was a good chance the note wouldn’t work (spoiler alert, it didn’t), at which point it just became an advertisement of the fact that we weren’t home and so any packages left were sitting ducks (I hate that I have to write that bc it sucks that it’s a foregone conclusion that people steal packages, and this suckiness hits harder around the holidays).
At any rate, obviously not much we can do now, I just had to vent my anger somehow.”

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!
