Yesterday @prestonrhea sent word via twitter:

“Today’s Mount Pleasant listserv: a potentially rabid fox seems to have wandered around NW MtP and bit a woman in the ankle.”

And this morning I received the following email:

Dear PoPville,

Just a word of caution to PoPville- watch out for foxes near rock creek park. My friend was walking with her baby yesterday on Tilden Rd in Mount Pleasant on her way towards Rock Creek and a fox attacked her. She said the lone fox came out of nowhere and went straight for her ankle. Her husband was with her and was able to beat it off and animal control eventually caught it in someone’s front yard. She ended up in urgent care receiving at least 20 injections, one for each bite wound and she’ll need to go back for at least 5 more follow up injections. Her leg is pretty messed up. Thankfully, the baby is fine.

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!
