It is with mixed emotions that we share this post to advise the community that our beloved Jodi is leaving Rochester Community House after almost 16 years.
Jodi began her journey with us after the 2011 floods and has been the welcoming, smiling face to so many of our community members.
She has been the digital & tech guru (or google has been the next best helper) has assisted so many people in so many ways. She has been Amanda's right hand and greatest support for many years and will be sadly missed.
While we are saddened that she is finishing here, we are excited for her next chapter and wish her all the best for what is to come.
Her last day at Community House will be Thursday 22nd October and remember she is only here until 1pm if you would like to come and wish her all the best before she goes.
