PORT CLINTON - Ottawa County has established a Long-Term Recovery Committee to assist residentsaffected by the Tornado of June 15.

As part of the committee, the Family Advocacy Center has established The Ottawa County Tornado Relief Fund at the Genoa Bank. Anyone interested in donating to this relief effort can do so at any branch of the Genoa Bank.
