Congresswoman Norton’s office:

“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced today she will host a virtual town hall on the impact of the U.S. Capitol attack on D.C. residents, public spaces, and security on Thursday, February 11 at 6:00 p.m. All D.C. residents are invited to attend. D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen (Ward 6) and representatives from the U.S. Capitol Police also will speak and answer questions from attendees.

Anyone interested in attending should RSVP by emailing [email protected].

“The Trump-inspired insurrection had a disproportionate impact on D.C. residents, particularly on our residents who live close to the Capitol, as I do,” Norton said. “The troops and barriers must remain in place during Trump impeachment proceedings, and, considering continuing threats, for some time thereafter. But the consequences of January 6th must not alter our city forever. This town hall is an opportunity for D.C. residents to speak up and have their voices heard about how residents think we can prevent such attacks without permanently walling off their neighborhoods and other parts of the District. I also look forward to perspectives from Councilmember Allen and from the U.S. Capitol Police.”

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!
