Each quarter, one co-op employee is selected to choose a local charity or not-for-profit organization to receive a $500 check to support the work they do in the communities that the co-op serves. System Engineer Matt Rankin chose Friends of the Museums, which is a non-profit organization that manages the Ohio River Museum and the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta on behalf of the Ohio History Connection. Its mission is to promote and preserve the history of our region, the Northwest Territory, and our inland waterways, including the Ohio and Muskingum rivers.
