Almost a century old, the Los Angeles Breakfast Club has survived and thrived — now it just needs to make sure it still has a home.
At 7 a.m. on a recent Wednesday morning, the parking lot of the Shrine of Friendship Auditorium off of Riverside Drive in Los Feliz is full of dozens of cars, some of which sport Los Angeles Breakfast Club license plate frames. Inside, the nearly 100-year-old club convenes: Its current president, Nora Vetter, addresses a buzzy room of about 100 people from around L.A.
“I saw a picture of Red Skelton performing at the club in the 1940s, on the last page of the SAG-AFTRA magazine,” says member and former L.A. Breakfast Club president Lily Holleman Leirness, an actress, of how she discovered the quirky group in 2013. Holleman Leirness began to spread the word. “I brought a few of my friends who I knew would love it, and they did.” She also recognized the group’s lack of web presence. “If something’s not online, it’s as if it didn’t exist.” So she posted about it on social media, and eventually the club grew to more than 100 members with more age diversity.
