From an email:
“Hey C&W Fam,
My name is Kanchan and I’m the founder of Crumbs & Whiskers. I want to take a few minutes to share what’s happening at C&W with you, and how the virus has been impacting us.
Things are really, really tough right now. As an experiential business, we rely on our booking & reservation sales to fund our operations. For the past month, we haven’t had that, which has been really difficult for us. We applied for every loan and grant that we qualified for, but unfortunately, we didn’t receive anything before loans ran out of funds.
As of now, Crumbs & Whiskers is surviving. We will most likely be permanently closing one of our locations – our DC cat cafe.
It makes us really sad, but we believe that is the right choice for our company. We haven’t made the final decision yet, and are waiting to see how things go in the upcoming weeks before we make a final choice.
We need your support during this time. If you want to help us, you can contribute to our COVID-19 fund, which is dedicated to keeping our full-time employees employed. You can also purchase merchandise and gift cards, send your friends a kittengram, or just share this with your friends.
I hope you are all healthy and happy. I hope you remember that you are not alone – we are all in this together, and I truly believe in my heart that we will all come out of this better than we were before. Thank you for all of your love and support over the years – we wouldn’t be here today without you.
Love,
Kanchan”

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!
