Umpteenth Annual Trash Bash - Melton Lake 4/9/2008 More than two dozen Rotarians, family members, and friends joined forces for ORBRC's annual cleanup of the shoreline at Melton Hill Lake -- just in time for the start of regatta season in Oak Ridge.

In March 2008, an anonymous donor funded dictionaries for Morgan County third-graders and we delivered!  View

Our Distict Governor, Robin Textor, joined them, too.  View 
ORBRC often hosts Meeting photos for Liz 9/22/2007 Our Cultural Scholar Liz Grabenstein has asked for some meeting photos -- her host club in Granada, Spain, is having trouble imagining a club that is so large or meets so early! (Liz, be sure to look at the album just before this one -- our "annual" membership meeting silliness.)  View 
Retired cardiologist Fred Barry is looking for new blood for Rotary. Get Your "ASK" in Gear 8/22/2007 The membership committee marshalled its forces (and its nerve) to give the club a humorous look at the best -- and worst -- ways to ask a potential member to learn about Rotary.  View

Thanks to Pat Postma and Emily Jernigan and the Fellowship committee for a hot time (the only thing that might have improved the evening was a little more air conditioning).  View
