From a reader:
“I thought you might be interested in posting an affordable local event benefiting those suffering from mental illness in your neighborhood. Woodley House, Washington DC’s Oldest Residential Facility, is located at 1221 Taylor Street N.W.
This year, Woodley House is hosting its 12th Annual Woodley House Movie Benefit with Special Screening of Jim Carrey’s YES MAN on Wednesday December 17th. Tickets to are only $100/2 people at The Uptown Theater at 3426 Connecticut Avenue. Tickets can be purchased online at Woodley House.
I know that it may seem difficult in these times to justify $50 on a movie ticket, but it is important to realize that although times difficult for everyone this year, the poor economy is hardest on those that are often left on the margins of society. Woodley House has been providing residential mental health treatment for the DC community for over 50 years. Attending the movie benefit would turn something routine—going to the movies—into an act of giving during this holiday season. Tickets to the benefit make great gifts and through generous support Woodley House will be able to provide for the DC community all year long.”

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!
