From DC Fire & EMS:

“The fire in the 4800 block of 10th St NE was discovered by one of our units enroute to obtain fuel. They saw smoke in the area and upon investigation found the home on fire & radioed for assistance. No 911 calls were received prior.

No smoke detectors found in home where the fatal fire occurred in the 4800 block 10th St NE. If you are a DC resident, live in your home, and need a smoke alarm, or know somebody who does, please call 311 to have 1 installed. Your life may depend upon it!

Both DC fire deaths this year have been senior citizens. The elderly often fall victim to home fires. If you have a senior family member, friend, or neighbor living at home, please check to see if they have working smoke alarms. If needed, call 311 to have one installed.

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!
