Monthly Brunches
Monthly Brunches - First and Third Saturdays
The easiest way to start participating in PCA Potomac is to attend one of our monthly brunches where we casually get together on the first Saturday of the month in Gainesville, Virginia and third Saturday of the month in Glen Echo, Maryland. This is a great way to meet other Porsche enthusiasts, talk about your cars, maybe trade some tips, or just hang out and enjoy the morning. Everyone is welcome, including newcomers, out of town PCA members and visitors from any region.

PCA Chesapeake and Potomac Regions returned to the ‘shed!
In our quest to include more events focused on four-door Porsches in the Chesapeake Region, we have held our off-road tour several times over the last four years. This tour is the brainchild of Jim Hemig who, besides being a member of the Chesapeake Region, is also the Marketing Director for PCA National. Jim hatched this tour after conducting a poll where the results indicated that Porsche SUV owners wanted to do an easy off-road tour and go to a winery.
