Monet via GoFundMe
“Dear PoPville,
This is for a former colleague of my wife. She is really a wonderful young woman. The young woman was attacked after refusing a man’s advances, leaving her in the hospital with a broken jaw. She’s in between jobs with COBRA that won’t cover everything. She has filed a victims compensation claim with DC, but that has its limits as well. Any circulation and donation would help her. Thank you very much for considering.”
The GoFundMe says:
“On Wednesday, April 14th Monet told a man “No” and he attacked her, breaking her jaw in the process.
For anyone who knows Monet, she is not one to ask for help, only to offer it others. This GoFundMe is the help she needs right now. She is currently in the hospital, awaiting surgery to have her jaw put back together only to have it wired shut for the following 6 weeks.
The assault took place while Monet is in between jobs, literally set to start her new one in only a few weeks, and as a result she’s in between health insurance coverage. A 10 day hospital stay, surgery, and out patient care for the next 2 months… It’s not clear what will be covered by COBRA, but you know it won’t be enough.
As of 4/17, her bill already exceeds $8,000.
Please help reduce additional trauma by donating to help with her medical bills so she can get back to helping students and her family without the burden of debt.”
This young woman was assaulted on the metro this week after refusing a man's advances. She now has a broken jaw and growing medical bills. She is in between jobs and a primary caregiver. Any help is appreciated! @PoPville https://t.co/BOxlGqc6Io

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!
