“Last year when ANXO Cidery set out to celebrate pride in a meaningful way, they partnered with local nonprofit Casa Ruby to host a dinner and opportunity to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community. After hearing about Casa Ruby’s mission to create successful life stories among transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals, ANXO knew they wanted to use their platform to spread awareness and raise money for an organization that continuously supports one of DC’s most vulnerable communities. Today, ANXO is celebrating Pride with the release of a special edition can of their flagship Cidre Blanc cider, with a portion of sales going to Casa Ruby.
Cidre Blanc Pride is the same bright and refreshing dry cider that ANXO fans currently know and love, packaged in a newly designed rainbow can. $1 from every 4-pack of Cidre Blanc Pride sold will go to Casa Ruby, DC’s only organization founded and led by transgender women of color. ANXO aims to donate over $1,000 for Casa Ruby over the course of this month, starting with an $800 initial donation independent of cider sales.
Starting today, DMV locals can pick up the limited-edition cans from ANXO’s brick and mortar stores, or order for same-day delivery. Cidre Blanc Pride cans are also available for delivery to over 40 states through ANXO’s website, making them easy to send to friends and family across the country for virtual Pride celebrations.”

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!
