This is a very popular event that has welcomed hundreds of guests in years past and is the major fundraiser for the Plattsburgh Kiwanis Breakfast Club. The Club has proudly supported important community initiatives such as the JCEO Backpack Program, Journey Into Reading, the Clinton Essex Franklin Library System, the Ted K.
