Welcome to the Potomac 356 Owners Group (POG) website. We are a low-key organization of Porsche 356 owners and enthusiasts based in the greater Washington DC metro area, with members from DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware. There are no club officers. We run the activities of the club (car shows, tech sessions, driving events) by Steering Committee. We usually meet for brunch on the first Sunday of every even-numbered month (see the Events section for more details). To join POG, see details on the Member Services tab.

POG has lost another member recently, Lonnie Patch, who passed away on April 26, 2025. Our condolences go out to her husband, Russ Kessler.
Lonnie and Russ had been regular attendees, Lonnie in her 356 and Russ in his 911 Carrera RS clone, representing POG and other Porsches at the annual Rockville Car Show. Lonnie was also instrumental in arranging our bi-monthly brunches at Anthony's in downtown Falls Church during the early 2000's, after we were no longer able to meet at Anita's. And many of us recall Lonnie as a regular volunteer at the registration desk for the Deutsche Marque Concours.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bob Garretson on Sunday, April 13, 2025. When Bob and his wife Ruth moved to the Greater DC Metropolitan Area from the West Coast, our group was honored to have them join our group and actively participate in our events. Just last Sunday, Bob and Ruth attended our brunch at which we celebrated Bob's recent birthday.
