The Oak Ridge Breakfast Rotary Club (Club No.3878) was organized in April 1980 with the help of the Governor of District 6780 and Oak Ridge Rotary Club member Red Williams.
ORBRC was sanctioned by Rotary International and chartered on June 27, 1980, as Tennessee's first breakfast Rotary Club. The club was chartered with 33 members and has grown steadily to its current membership of approximately 135 business and professional leaders.
The club has won many awards for its international, vocational, and community service work and focuses on literacy for children and adults, leadership and service projects that touch young lives, and humanitarian and quality of life activities at home and around the world.
The Club meets every Wednesday at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church, located at 1500 Oak Ridge Turnpike (Traffic Light #11). Doors open at 6:45 a.m. for coffee and fellowship; the breakfast buffet line opens shortly after 7 a.m. The program begins at approximately 7:30, and we work to send our members and guests out the door by 8:15 a.m.
