U Street Movie Night July 25th – showing Protocol:
Harrison Recreation Center

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012
7:00pm – 10:30pm | FREE!The U Street Movie Series returns for a third summer Wednesday July 25th at Harrison Recreation Center, on V Street between 13th and 14th Streets, NW. The theme this year is Date Night in DC. This month’s movie will be Protocol with Goldie Hawn. In this 1984 classic sweet, unsophisticated Sunny (Hawn) is working as a cocktail waitress. She saves a visiting dignitary and as a reward she gets a top-office job in the Washington beehive. She has to fight against a devious protocol officer but with her charms, she saves the day when she gets involved in an arms deal with an Arab country. Local businesses Marvin, The Gibson, Patty Boom Boom, and Blackbyrd are providing a DJ starting at 7:00pm. We should have a food truck, MPD handing out icecream, and perhaps the 9:30 club giving out a few free tickets. Screening begins at sundown (at around 8:15pm).
Remaining movies are August 22, 2012 – The American President, and September 26, 2012 – The Pelican Brief
All movies are shown outdoors in a family-friendly environment and are free and open to the public. You may want to bring a blanket to sit on. Sorry, dogs are not allowed in the park. Donations and sponsorships are accepted at movies.ustreet-dc.org and will benefit Friends of Harrison Recreation Center, a nonprofit formed in 2009 that works directly with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation on capital improvements and design changes, and enhancing park management and programming.

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!
