From Christopher:
The PoP Book Club just finished its third book, ‘The Watchmen’ by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. This was a first for many of the readers, as not a lot of us had read graphic novels, but the overall opinion was that it was a good book. We started a rating system to help showcase the groups opinion, and we give ‘the Watchmen’ a solid 3 and 1/2 frogs out of a possible 5 (actually the consensus was more along the lines of 4 out of 5, but I just wanted to see PoP post half a frog, ok?) Also, we have tentative plans for dinner and a movie when the movie based on this book comes out in March next year, for anyone that wants to get in on the fun!
Our next read is a non-fiction work by Antony Wild titled ‘Coffee: A Dark History’. We will be meeting at the Red Derby on Monday, January 5th at 7:00pm to get the process going (and to get our drink/grub on), and then again at the Petworth Library on Wednesday, January 21 at 7:00pm to really break into the discussion :)
The group is growing with every new book, so don’t be left out! Grab a cup of joe, a copy of ‘Coffee: A Dark History’, and join us next month!

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!
