The Rotary Club of Burke was organized by Brian Tilbury and chartered June 14, 1984. The Club met in the Assembly of God Church in Burke, whose Pastor, Roscoe Leach, was a Charter member. The Club soon moved to Burke Lake Gardens and was chartered by Rotary International on June 30, 1984, with twenty-two members (two are still with the Club). After moves to Vinnie's Restaurant and the Country Club of Fairfax, the Club settled at Fritter's Restaurant in Burke in October of 1988. Fritter's was sold and renamed Hopsfrog Tavern in 1997. Then in August 2001, the management of the Hopsfrog found that they were unable to continue to support the morning meeting so the club moved to its current location at Brion's Grille at the University Mall across from George Mason University.
