Email to the editor: Hi Tony I was referred to you by Shannon Decker and Kim Capeloto at Bank of Clark County to see if you could help us get the word out about an account we just set up at the Bank of Clark County for our friend George Wong. George is a bartender/server (formerly at the Restaurant at the Reserve and now at 1220 Main) and his loyal “followers” are known as “Friends of George” or “FOG” members. George is having surgery today for diverticulitis at Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital and may be in the hospital for up to 3 weeks. He is expected to make a full recovery. However, he doesn’t have health insurance. We’d like to get the word out to “Friends of George” about this account and give them the information they need if they would like to contribute to it. Thanks
