Cara Moody

Cara Moody is our own personal Wonder Woman here in the Senior Services Division. She is our go-to girl with anything mechanical or technical. Sometimes all she needs to do is stand next to it and whatever the machine, it magically starts working…that’s her superpower!
She is also the expert for the Purchase Order system and you will often hear the phrases, “Cara, how do I… or Cara, can you help me….” floating around the office. This year she has taken on some additional responsibilities with the financial part of our office operations. As always, she has streamlined and improved many of those tasks. She is careful with our funds and will diligently research and study to find the best “Bang for our Buck” whenever she can.

But that’s not all! Cara is so good to our volunteers, making sure they have everything they need to have a good experience, finding fun ways to recognize them, treat them with little surprises or fun activities and making sure they are well-fed when they come to our monthly meetings (sorry about the delicious smells wafting down the halls.) She makes our recognition events creative and memorable and something our volunteers look forward to each year.

She has worked hard to develop good rapport with school staff where our volunteers serve, sometimes bringing them little goodies. They are always glad to see her and go out of their way to make sure she has what she needs from them.

Our office gets a lot of random “senior” questions that are way outside the realm of what we do. Cara has learned about services and programs available to the seniors in our community and usually has an answer and contact information for these needs plus a suggestion or two for additional assistance.

Cara is an amazing cook and loves to experiment with new recipes. She enjoys traveling and exploring. She appreciates the beauty of nature and brings back beautiful photographs from her adventures.

Cara is a great friend and a fantastic mom to her son Cody. She is fun and supportive, and we have enjoyed watching him grow up from a curly-headed kid to a grown and amazing man under her great parenting skills. In fact, she pretty much excels in everything she tries!

Cara is so dedicated and has an amazing work ethic. She makes sure there is someone in the office to greet our volunteers and visitors. She is organized and efficient and always a step ahead, anticipating our every need. She cares about our volunteers, and they feel it! We have been so lucky to have her for the past 13 years and hope she stays for at least that many more.

Thank you for the opportunity to let us tell you about how amazing she is!
