Co-op Communications Director Allan Reetz became the second Co-op employee to jump on the platelet donation campaign. Reetz said it was by far the easiest thing he’d done all year. He added that, “I got to hang out for 90 minutes with nothing to do but eat, drink, read, watch TV, surf the net, and occasionally squeeze a little rubber ball.”
