Mount Pleasant Library Expansion Meeting

library2, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

I’ve seen lots of back and forth on some listservs discussing whether or not the Mt. Pleasant Library should be expanded at its current location (corner of 16th and Mt. Pleasant Street) or in an area in Columbia Heights. Does anyone feel strongly about the Mt. P library expansion?

From an email:

“ANC1D is sponsoring a ward-wide meeting concerning the renovation and expansion of the Mount Pleasant Library, on Tuesday, March 3rd, at 7:00 p.m., at the La Casa Community Center, 3166 Mount Pleasant Street.

There is considerable support now for the notion that the expansion of
the library should be to another site in Ward One, outside Mount
Pleasant, to better serve the whole population of Ward One.

Councilmember Jim Graham will facilitate this dialog.”

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!
