Miles for Mental Health

On October 20, Burlington Breakfast Rotary participated in the Miles for Mental Health walk at Marshall Simons Middle School track. The 5K walk was sponsored by lululemon and Kris Fabbri of Sh;ft, a new fitness club focusing on mental health. Burlington Breakfast Rotary also sponsored the awesome t-shirts for the walk in partnership with Christine Conceision, District Director of Mental Health for Burlington Schools! Can't wait to participate again next year!

We are excited that the "Buddy Bench" was successfully placed at Fox Hill Elementary school on January 24, 2024. The Buddy Bench is available to over 500 students to experience a safe space for talking, making new friends, celebrating achievements, discovering, and connecting with each other.

This project is a successful collaboration between School representatives, district and BBRC team.

President's Message

Hello and welcome to the Burlington Breakfast Rotary Club (BBRC) website.

We are a friendly, 'Small but Mighty' club in Rotary District 7930. Our meetings are held every Thursday morning from 7:15 am - 8:15 am at Bickford's Family Restaurant, 6 Cambridge Street, Burlington, MA 01803. While the venue is being renovated, temporarily, our meetings will be held from 7:45 am - 8:45 am at Bickford's Grille, 325 Montvale Avenue, Woburn, MA 01801 until October 2020.

Our meetings are now HYBRID. We meet in-person as well as virtual on Zoom in order to be inclusive for all members who are not able to attend in-person for any reason.

Being a breakfast club, the BBRC makes joining Rotary easy, cost effective, time efficient, and fun.

Our dues are among the lowest in the District and our meetings are suited for busy individuals who cannot give up an entire morning or afternoon. Visitors to the club and Rotarians wishing to makeup meetings are always welcome.

Come join us to experience the rewarding feeling of enriching our community while enjoying camaraderie and fellowship!

We look forward to meeting you!

Thank you,
