Welcome to our website!  We are glad that you are visiting and invite you to browse around a bit. 

The Franklin Rotary Club at Breakfast is starting its 20^th year of service to the community of Williamson County and the world at large.  In October (Columbus Day, the 12^th) we will again host our annual golf tournament at The Legends Club with a 1pm start.  The proceeds from this tournament fund our service to the community and we look forward to having the best year ever in spite of the current economic conditions.  Our charity committee looks forward to helping local groups and individuals that are in need in our community.  We are hopeful that we will be able to offer again scholarships to local students in need as they seek higher education. 

The club is just starting another year of our program to furnish 3^rd graders with their own dictionary.  We hand out to the students individually dictionaries that are their books to keep and we do this in nine area elementary schools.

In September we will have some members conduct a fact finding trip to Guatemala City in anticipation of furnishing and installing a water filtration system for a local hospital and school.  Meanwhile, back home our Starfish committee has already started supplying potable water to homes in the southwest part of Williamson County that were without clean water in their homes.  This Christmas we will again help raise money for the Salvation Army at Dickens of a Christmas and with the help of Publix Foods will distribute food baskets to the needy in Williamson County.

We would love to have you visit with us.  We meet at 7am on Wednesday mornings at The Legends.  If you have any questions or need assistance please complete our Contact Us form and the webmaster will steer you in the right direction.
