From a press release:
The fifth annual Rock Creek Extreme Cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 6, from 9 am to 12 pm. Rock Creek Conservancy is seeking volunteers to remove trash and debris at over 70 locations along Rock Creek in Washington, DC, and Montgomery County, MD. Click here for a map of cleanup locations and signup information.
The three-hour cleanup will bring together kids, families, and adults of all ages to pick up litter from the creek and woodlands.
“People love Rock Creek and are really eager to be involved,” according to Conservancy Executive Director, Beth Mullin. “They can make a difference right here, and it’s a fun way for kids and adults to be outside and give back to their community. Our parks are now visibly and measurably cleaner, but they still need a spring cleaning.”
People interested in volunteering can find a cleanup location and sign up at the Rock Creek Conservancy website, rockcreekconservancy.org.
During each of the past four years, volunteers have fanned out in parks bordering the 33-mile length of Rock Creek and collected over 2,500 bags of litter and tons of assorted junk, including a Canadian flag on a flagpole, a parking meter full of coins, and a Vespa motorbike. During the Rock Creek Extreme Cleanup, volunteers carrying colorful trash bags can be seen for miles in Rock Creek parks.

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!
