“How do I stop getting mail addressed to other people?”

“Dear PoPville,

We own our home in DC, and have lived in it for about 3 years. We’ve always gotten the odd piece of mail here or there that was addressed to the wrong person, and I just chalked this up to quadrant typos (something getting sent to NE vs NW) or just a mistake. However, over the past few months, we have been getting 1-2 letters a week addressed to different people, with a variety of names.

I know the names of the previous owners and none of this mail has their name on it. It’s also not junk mail, it’s mail from the IRS, bills, Health Insurance companies, etc. Is there anything I can do beyond dropping them in the mailbox with Return to Sender? I’ve notified our mail person that only people with our name reside in the residence, but our mail person changes a decent amount and I know they have a lot on their plate. Other than a mild annoyance, is this something I should be concerned about for identity theft or anything else?

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!
