Park View-Yard Sale Benefit for Washington Central Parks
Neighbors in the Park View and Petworth areas are getting together to
host the Great Emancipation National Park Yard Sale on Saturday, May 9,
starting at 9 a.m. This is a fundraiser for the non-profit group
Washington Central Parks: http://www.thecentralparks.org/
As many of you know, Washington Central Parks has worked hard to
establish a “pearl necklace” of green space in north central D.C. for
hikers, bikers and nature lovers. These green pathways would link
spaces including Fort Totten National Park, the Armed Forces Retirement
Home and Lincoln’s Cottage, and McMillan Park and the reservoir. A
central part of the vision is the creation of Emancipation National
Park on a section of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, which was
previously designated for condos.
Here is what you can do:
l. Attend the Yard Sale! Several yards in the 3600 block of Park Place
Northwest in Washington, D.C., adjacent to the beautiful Soldiers Home
campus. This is the block between Princeton and Quebec Streets.) The
sale will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday May 9 and run through the
afternoon.

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!
