There's a new person joining in efforts to deliver critical social services to the community through the Portage Friendship Centre (PFC).

Kat Rossiter will take over as administrative assistant at PFC for the next year. Rossiter says her interest in working for PFC was developed while completing a work placement while enrolled in a Red River College program a year ago.

"I volunteered here as a summer student while I took a two-year business diploma course at Red River College," Rossiter explains. "That's what drew me to the Portage Friendship Centre. My time spent here during that summer made me like when a position became available this is the place where I fit. They service the community in very many ways: through the school supply program, housing programs and career programs."

Rossiter has an education in retail management and business organization and feels her studies will apply well in an adminstrative role with PFC. She begins in early August.
