Wilkes-Barre detective testifies on fatal shooting; suspects to stand trial

<p>On March 17, the Avoca West Side Social Club held its inaugural Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day parade and celebration. The event was a big success with an overwhelming turnout.</p><p>During the event, I was honored to receive the first &#8220;Man of the Year&#8221; award. I am truly grateful and humbled by this recognition. It is impossible to list all the people and organizations that participated in making this event successful. However, on behalf of my family and myself, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who contributed in any way for this event.</p><p>More importantly, as a result of this event, approximately 20 nonprofit organizations and families in need will receive a financial donation from the Avoca West Side Social Club from the proceeds which was made on this event.</p><p>In closing, I would like to thank all my customers and friends for their support during my 57 years in business in Avoca. Your support and friendship was and is truly appreciated and will not be forgotten.</p><p>Mike George and family</p><p>Avoca</p><style>
