You can request transportation for yourself of someone else by calling the Shelter Hotline at (202) 399-7093 or by dialing 311. If you believe there is an immediate medical emergency, please call 911.

According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are expected to fall towards the mid- to low-30s, remaining dry with wind chill values in the upper 20s. The Department of Human Services and the District’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) will activate the Hypothermia Alert from 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 15 though 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 16. If the alert is extended, an AlertDC notice will go out, a notice will be posted on the DHS website, at dhs.dc.gov, and information be available via in-person inquiries at open MPD stations, Fire and Emergency Medical Services stations, public libraries, and Department of Parks and Recreation recreation centers.

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!
