From the CH Listserv:
At seven or so this evening, a friend of mine encountered a young (she said 30s?) man who had just been assaulted and robbed. The guy told her that he had tried to sell his camera on Craigslist, met the “buyers” at Harriet Tubman school (in the parking lot), and was beaten up and robbed. He called the police, and my friend also followed up with the police afterwards.
She was understandably alarmed, not only because it is always traumatic to encounter a relatively violent crime, but because it was around 7pm (ie, bright out) and there were people all around, including several witnesses who did nothing. That was sort of a shame, as HT really is in the heart of Columbia Heights. I’m emailing the listhost because:
1. you know. FYI?
2. BE CAREFUL when selling things on craigslist!
3. If you see something, say something? My friend saw a bloodied young man and people just passed him by. I know that it’s not always the safest thing to help strangers, but we’re a great neighborhood, and I’d hate to think of any of us sitting there unhelped.Anyway, sorry for the mini rant. Hope you’re all safe, and and that you help a person in need (if it’s within your power).

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!
