The first Perch Supper Club
From an email:
“Perch Supper Club is a new & intimate dining experience in Washington DC from Chef Sam Molavi and Spencer Launer. Each dinner pairs seasonal ingredients with delicious wine, music, and company. All proceeds will go to non-profits that are changing the world.
Our first Perch Supper Club kicked off in Brookland, as we gathered 20 people in our garden for an early summer feast with proceeds benefitting World Central Kitchen (see images below). This month we are taking over the hearth at the beautiful Maydan space for our August Supper Club & are looking forward to share another delicious summer menu cooked over an open fire. Proceeds from this month’s dinner will benefit Whole Woman’s Health, an organization providing critical access and care to women seeking abortions. The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has stripped women across the nation of fundamental rights guaranteed to them for decades. Whole Woman’s Health is working hard to ensure women can continue to make decisions in the best interest of their health and well-being. For more information, visit here.
Chef Sam Molavi has run the kitchens of DC’s most acclaimed restaurants including St. Vincent, St. Anselm, Ripple, Compass Rose, Bibiana, and many more. Sam and Spencer met working at Ripple and have enjoyed creating unique dining experiences for friends and family since. Danny Fisher of locally based French wine importer, Wine Traditions, will provide pairings from small family owned organic wineries.
A $175 minimum donation is required to attend. All proceeds go to Womens Health. Dinner and Wine included.

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!
