The “Dear PoP” letters are getting good this one had a picture attached.
Hey PoP,
So, what would you do if you found the back security gate of an abandoned house next to you wide open? What would you do if it were right next door?
Thanks,
Worrier
Dear Worrier,
If I found the back security gate to an abandoned house wide open I would call 311. But before I called 311 I’d think to myself, wait a second, do I call 311 or do I call 911? I’d wonder does 311 even exist anymore? Then I’d mutter some curses and question why the hell they changed the 311 – 911 system. And ultimately I’d call 911. I’d also talk to some of my neighbors and ask if they knew what was going on. If I was feeling particularly bold I might close the gate a bit so it didn’t look so obviously wide open. I’d be sure to check back on it the next day to make sure it was secured. If it was still not secured the next day after calling 911 I’d follow up with a call to my Ward community outreach person and let them know the problem. Hopefully one of those two steps would resolve the problem. Let us know what happens.
Cheers,
PoP
Anyone have other ideas?

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!
