The class, the release said, has been raising funds these last few months to benefit the non-profit. "Fresh Start Village was selected following a process by the class to allow all Chamber member non-profits to respond to a request for information. The class then narrowed it to several finalists, and each finalist was given an opportunity to meet with the class and provide more information about their request, funds needed and how it would benefit their organization and the community," said the release. This bi-annual event will allow arts organizations to have displays at the breakfast, and the Chamber added that attendees are encouraged to come early to view the displays and meet with various organization representatives. Breakfast is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. on July 9 at the Paducah-McCracken County Convention Center, a week late due to the July 4 holiday. The Chamber noted that re-registration is required by Monday, July 6, at 2 p.m., and Power Card holders do not have to pre-register. The registration cost is $25.
