A Quarterly Update On Family Service Of The Piedmont, Inc. 

The Strength to Move On: A Survivor’s Story 

Not long ago, Lois Williams was imprisoned in an 

abusive marriage built on fear. A victim of childhood 

abuse for much of her youth, Lois suffered 

into adulthood in relationships filled with cruelty 

and violence. At Family Service of the Piedmont, 

Lois found the support she needed to escape and 

begin a new life. 

Lois met her husband through a blind date. “That 

first night he threatened me and told me if I didn’t 

do what he said that he’d kill me,” 

she says. “He proceeded to assault 

and rape me. Nothing like that had 

ever happened to me before. I had 

no clue as to what was going on.” 

“I stayed with him because of fear,” 

Lois admits. “He had that intimidating 

hold on me.” Four years 

later, Lois became pregnant and 

married her abuser. “He was in the 

Sheriff’s department at the time and 

wanted stature and standing in the 

community,” she says. 

Lois’ abusive marriage lasted 

twenty-two years. “I endured it because 

my daughters were too important 

to me and I didn’t want to 

uproot them,” she says. But finally 

she had had enough. “I was exhausted, I was tired, 

and I started planning my escape. I began making a 

safety plan.” 

Lois Williams found safety and escape from 

violence at Family Service of the Piedmont. 

Lois fled to Greensboro as soon as her youngest 

daughter was settled at college. She had been offered 

a place to stay by a High School acquaintance. 

But that man also turned out to be controlling and 

abusive, just like the husband she had fled from. “I 

had jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire,” 

she says. 

Volunteers Revamp Women’s Shelters 

Family Service’s domestic violence shelters saw a lot 

of improvements this summer. Clara House in 

Greensboro and Carpenter House in High Point 

each received an extreme makeover by volunteers 

from two local corporate groups. 

First, two groups of BB&T volunteers adopted the 

shelters for their company’s Lighthouse Project. They 

completely overhauled the outdoor areas including 

custom-built wooden play sets at both shelters. The 

volunteers also created relaxing seating areas for 

women to enjoy themselves outdoors. Additional 

donations included a bike rack, ping pong table, riding 

toys, and a basketball goal. 

Another BB&T group went shopping for Clara House 

and donated a host of items, including a brand new 

TV and DVD player for the living room area, educational 

video games, comforters and bed linens, 

housewares and storage containers. “All of BB&T’s 

efforts are greatly appreciated,” said Shelter Services 

Coordinator Joanne DeTiere. 

Continued on page 2 

Resolving not to repeat her last bad relationship, Lois 

planned to leave. “When my new boyfriend found 

out he blocked the door, threw me on the couch, 

and proceeded to strangle me,” she says. Lois escaped 

and sought refuge at a nearby school, where 

she spoke with a social worker about her options. 

Lois was referred to Family Service of the Piedmont. 

She lived at the women’s shelter for about a year. 

“The staff was such a great group of people who 

worked to support me,” she remembers. “I honestly 

could not have done it without Family 

Service. I have no idea where I would 

have stayed; I probably would have 

been sleeping in my van.” Lois used 

her time at the shelter to get back on 

her feet financially, and to confront 

the issues that surrounded her from a 

lifetime of abuse and mistreatment. 

“Family Service made sure I had the 

assistance I needed,” she says. “I was 

offered an abundance of programs 

and supportive services during my 

stay at the shelter. Crossroads [the 

agency’s support group for women 

who are survivors of domestic violence] 

was very supportive and encouraging. 

That gave me the chance 

to be around other women that I had 

something in common with and 

could actually talk to.” Lois remains close and keeps 

up with a number of these women today. 

The shelter staff and other residents gave Lois the 

kind of encouragement she had rarely experienced. 

“If you felt like you didn’t have anything that would 

keep you going, they kept you going,” she says. 

“Family Service has people that genuinely care. That 

makes all the difference in the world. “

Message From The 

President & CEO 

Summertime and the living 

is easy…or, so the 

song says. Many of us can 

look back at the last couple 

of months and fondly 

remember family vacations, 

weekend cookouts 

and other relaxing days 

enjoying the many opportunities 

that summer 

brings. Unfortunately, for 

many of the clients that 

we serve, life’s struggles diminish the joys of 

summer. You probably read the news stories 

about a tragic triple homicide in Greensboro 

recently, linked to domestic violence. The incident 

illustrates just how much work still 

needs to be done to end domestic violence and 

to educate the public about resources available 

in our community (such as our domestic violence 

shelters, Clara House and Carpenter 

House) that can save a life. 

Every day, Family Service staff work with men, 

women and children threatened by violence in 

their own homes. You can read two examples 

in this newsletter. Our front page tells the 

story of one woman who came to Family Service 

to escape a long-term abusive marriage. 

Also, on page 5, our recent CARE Award winner 

Angie Parker describes how she helps 

clients escaping family violence through each 

step of the process – from the initial crisis call, 

to acquiring a protective court order, to referrals 

for counseling, shelter, or other resources. 

Angie exemplifies the dedication that all Family 

Service staff have for their clients and their 

safety. In countless ways each day, they help 

prevent the threat of violence from erupting 

into tragedy in the lives of the families they 

serve. 

I am excited to say that Family Service has 

started a new therapy group for children, 

aged five to seventeen, who have been exposed 

to violence. We know that witnessing violence 

in their homes or communities can have a

traumatic effect on children. Research shows 

that for healing to begin, it is important to acknowledge 

the trauma and encourage children 

to talk about it. The new group will enable 

children who have been exposed to violence to 

become less afraid, less isolated, and feel safe 

again. 

None of the many programs Family Service offers 

would be possible without the support 

that we receive from people like you in our 

three communities. Our fundraisers in High 

Point, Greensboro and Jamestown have all broken 

records this year. You can read about these 

events throughout this newsletter. I am immensely 

grateful to all the volunteers who 

helped plan and organize such spectacular 

events, and all who contributed. We honestly 

could not do it without you and I would like 

to thank you on behalf of our clients and staff 

for your generosity. 

Speaking of which, I am thrilled to announce 

that this year’s Greensboro Greek Festival will 

once again support Clara House. This will be 

the third year the popular event has donated 

proceeds our shelter. I am very thankful to 

Dormition of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox 

Church for their continued generosity. Mark 

your calendars for the Greek Festival, September 

16th-18th! 

Finally, we have an immediate need for donations 

of fans of all kinds. In this sweltering 

summer, many of our clients are without air 

conditioning, and a simple fan can make all the 

difference. Please help these families beat the 

summer heat by donating new or gently-used 

fans to Family Service. You can drop off your 

donation at our Greensboro, Jamestown, or 

High Point locations, or contact Stephanie 

Allred at (336) 387-6161 ext. 1130.

Middle Schoolers Receive 

“Red Carpet” Treatment 

The Guild of Family Service of High Point 

rolled out the red carpet, Hollywood style, for 

the 2011 Middle School Party on May 21st. 

About 100 6th, 7th and 8th grade students 

from throughout High Point came dressed to 

impress for the event at High Point Country 

Club. 

Partygoers enjoyed an evening of music, food, 

games and fun. Sugar Bear Designs donated 

a stunning Oscar themed cake. Hosts wore 

“VIP Host” buttons and received a t-shirt as a 

souvenir. 

“We are greatly appreciative to all those who 

sponsored the event this year” said Event 

Chair Stephanie Beaver. "The kids look forward 

to the party each year and it is a great 

way for them to be involved in an event that 

helps the community." 

Proceeds from the night exceeded $8,900 to 

help fund programs of Family Service in High 

Point.

“The play areas look fantastic. Their shopping 

trips for the shelter gave us just about everything 

on our wish list!” Meanwhile, employees 

from Syngenta Crop Protection gave 

their time to create a raised container garden 

at Carpenter House. Volunteers planted fresh 

vegetables including tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, 

pumpkin, and basil. “It was hot, 

but everyone worked hard and we had fun 

working together,” said Syngenta’s Ruhi 

Rezaaiyan. 

“Together, these projects have greatly improved 

the overall look and feel of the shelters,” 

said DeTiere. “We are extremely 

grateful to BB&T and Syngenta volunteers for 

generously giving their time to make the shelters 

a more homelike environment for resident 

women and their children.”

Greensboro Oyster Roast : Biggest and Best Ever 

The Greensboro Oyster Roast on April 29 

wasn’t just a terrific party; it was the largest and 

most successful fundraiser Family Service of the 

Piedmont has ever had. 

A record turnout of 720 guests enjoyed the food, 

music and festivities at Bonnie and Bynum 

Hunter’s home. Around the large tents provided 

by Grand Rental Station, attendees ate oysters 

on the lawn and other edibles from Pepper 

Moon Catering, enjoyed the company of friends 

around the beautiful candlelit swimming pool, 

shopped for jewelry on display by Schiffman’s 

(who donated a portion of their sales all that 

weekend) or danced the night away to the music 

of The Magnificents. 

The event surpassed all expectations and raised 

proceeds of more than $141,000 to support programs 

of Family Service in Greensboro. 

Oyster Roast Co-Chairs Kim Holleman and 

Daniela Helms thanked the Hunters for playing 

host to the event. “The Oyster Roast was successful 

because Bonnie and Bynum Hunter so generously 

shared their beautiful property – the pool, 

gazebo, paved areas and lawn,” Helms said. “The 

location was a big part of our success,” agreed 

Holleman. “Another was the wonderful level of 

corporate sponsorship – we had so many people 

▲ Event Chairs Daniela Helms and Kim Holleman, Honorary 

Chair Shirley Spears, and home host Bonnie McElveen-Hunter 

▲ Peggy Johnson and Betty Nichols 

willing to go the sponsor route.” Holleman particularly 

thanked honorary chair Shirley Spears 

for her part in helping to marshal support. “We 

are so grateful to Shirley. Her involvement was 

key to our incredible level of success this year,” 

she said. 

“We were so fortunate to have a dedicated group 

leading our fundraising efforts, not to mention 

the generosity of our donors especially during a 

tough economy,” added Helms. In particular, 

Grand Rental Station who donated the tents and 

furnishings. “They really helped create an attractive 

and high-quality feel to the evening,” she 

noted. 

Lastly, both Co-Chairs thanked their hard-working 

volunteer committee, consisting of Missy 

Akin, Lori Aycock, Robin Barefoot, Cyenthia

Jamestown Pig Pickin’ Returns to Magnolia Farm 

The Jamestown Pig Pickin’ returned for its 

second year on Saturday, July 30th. The 

fundraiser found even greater success this year 

thanks to presenting sponsorTCDI. About 400 

people attended the event at the historic Magnolia 

Farm, the Jamestown home of George and 

Jenny Ragsdale. Dr. Don Cameron, President 

Emeritus of Guilford Technical Community College, 

and his wife Jayne served as Honorary 

Chairs. 

Under and around the large tent provided by 

Grand Central Station, the “shabby chic” 

themed Pig Pickin’ featured pork and chicken 

prepared by BBQ Joe’s and Southern Roots 

Restaurant. Above and Beyond Catering provided 

delicious sides and desserts, while Natty 

Greene’s Brewing Co. provided beer. Live music 

by Turpentine Shine was the perfect background 

to entertain guests. 

A popular silent auction, led by Doug Susong, 

featured a rose garden installation by Witherspoon 

Rose Culture, a Slane and Slane silver 

bracelet, and a kayak “made in Jamestown” donated 

by Get Outdoors. The auction alone raised 

an astonishing $6,200, which helped total funds 

raised reach more than $42,000 – almost double 

what was raised last year.

Eighty-three Host Couples contributed to the 

event in support of Family Service programs. “It 

was a collaborative effort; the success would not 

have been possible without the overwhelming 

support from the Jamestown community residents 

and businesses,” said Event Chair Shanna 

Moore. “We were able to double the number of 

host couples from last year which really made a 

difference in the net profit.” 

Moore gave special thanks to her planning committee, 

including Janis Beshears, Kathy Dick, Jen 

Helms, Kathy Johnson, Mary and Jay McQuillan, 

Cotten Moring, Ginny Picket, Carli Prillaman, 

Jenny and George Ragsdale, Tricia Seymour , and

High Point, NC 

Angela 

Parker 

Job Title: Crisis Intervention 

Advocate 

Born/Grew up: 

Worked at Family Service : Since 2007 

Education: BS, Criminal Justice from Guilford 

College 

Hobbies: Likes to swim, eat Reese’s and read 

True Crime. 

Family Service of the Piedmont staff selected 

Crisis Intervention Advocate Angela Parker 

to receive the agency’s C.A.R.E. Award on 

May 13. The award is given to staff members 

who exemplify Family Service’s Core 

Values: Customers, co-workers and community 

Are always Respected, empowered, and 

receive quality service Every time. 

Parker’s clients are victims of domestic violence, 

sexual assault, or other violent crime, 

who come to the Family Service office or 

call the agency’s 24-hour Crisis Line. As 

she explains her typical day: “If a victim calls 

seeking to file a restraining order, I meet 

them at the clerk’s office and file the paper- 

U.S. Congressman Mel Watt visited Family Service’s Fairview Family 

Resource Center August 9th as part of his “Trading Places” program. 

The program involves Watt taking on the jobs of his constituents to get 

a better idea of what’s happening in the 12th Congressional District.

LaMonica Mitchell, and paid a visit to the Southside Community 

Garden located at the center. ! 


work. I provide court accompaniment for 

the ex parte hearing. I walk the client over 

to the Sheriff’s Department to have the restraining 

order served. There I explain services 

offered at Family Service, as well as 

other services and resources in the community.” 

Parker’s co-workers in the agency’s Victim

“She serves clients all day Monday 

through Friday to make sure they are 

safe, treated with compassion, and provided 

the most appropriate service referral possible,” 

they said. “She is often found going

outcome meaning they can find safer homes 

and families.” - 

Presenting the award, Family Service President 

& CEO Tom Campbell praised Parker’s 

conscientiousness in ensuring her clients’ 

safety and ability to access services. On one 

occasion, the only safe time for a client to 

meet was on Saturdays. Another could only 

meet safely at her doctor’s office. Parker 

went out of her way to meet these clients at 

the time and place that was safest for them, 

Campbell said. 

“Angie is naturally professional and caring,” 

her co-workers continued. “She has a positive 

attitude that radiates to staff and clients. 

She is constantly striving for justice for her 

clients, and for the client to feel empowered.” 

“I’ve always felt that if you can help someone, 

then you have an obligation to do so,” 

Parker says. “Family Service of the Piedmont 

can provide a variety of services that can 

help anyone.” 

Thanks to Premier Federal Credit Union for their second annual hot dog sale 

benefitting Family Service. Volunteers sold hot dogs throughout the day July 

15th in Downtown Greensboro. The event raised $2,000!

SUMMER 2011 

Family Service of the Piedmont 

and the Greensboro 

community were saddened 

to learn of the passing 

of David Edmond 

Wesley Schlosser, son of 

Rebecca and Mike 

Schlosser, this June 2 at the 

age of 25. 

David recently graduated 

from Elon University (Class of 2011), with a 

BS in Computer Science, and a minor in Psychology 

and Mathematics. Previously, David 

attended Greensboro Day School where he 

was co-captain of the wrestling team and a 

member of the National Honor Society. 

David will be remembered as a loving and 

caring son and brother. Although he struggled 

with bipolar disorder, he lived life to the 

fullest, enjoying a wide array of friends and a 

zeal for music and computers. He celebrated 

life with enthusiasm, gratitude and optimism. 

David's non-judgmental outlook combined 

with his unwavering loyalty made him 

a friend to everyone.

Message from the Greensboro Foundation Chair 

Lynne Gladstone 

Outgoing Chair, 

Family Service of Greensboro Foundation 

Born/grew up: Fork Church, NC 

Lived in Greensboro’s Fisher Park Historic District 

since 1980 

Family: two cats, Jeremiah and Hazel Mary

Women’s Club; GFWC-NC 

One person can make a difference. You never 

know when something you say or do will 

make a profound change in the life of someone 

who is secretly hurting or afraid. This is 

why our work with Family Service of the Piedmont is so crucial, for we offer 

children and families in need concrete programs, support, and tools for change 

to build healthier, happier, and safer lives. 

This year, the Clara House and Carpenter House Shelters for battered women 

and their children, our Children’s Advocacy Centers for sexually abused children, 

our in-home Family Preservation program, the 24-hour crisis line, Domestic 

Violence Intervention Program for batterers, and Healthy Start were all 

programs which faced reduced services due to funding cuts. Thanks to countless 

volunteer hours, we broke Greensboro’s fundraising records and were political 

activists at a crucial time in continuing the work of Family Service. Next 

year will be another critical time, and you are needed! 

As a twenty-year volunteer for the Agency, the opportunity to serve as the 

2010-2011 Chair of Family Service of Greensboro Foundation was a joy and a 

blessing. I am grateful for the commitment, generosity, and open hearts of 

each Foundation Trustee, Guild member, and the many fund-raising and 

friend-raising volunteers and sponsors who made this year of need a tremendous 

success. At each meeting, I challenged all to act boldly with Enthusiasm, 

Passion, and Responsibility and to be daily ambassadors for Family Service. 

Thank you for your work and for living this challenge. 

A special thanks goes to: Annual Campaign Chairs Leigh Sudbrink and Robert 

Ketner for their new ideas and forward thinking in order to exceed their goal; 

Oyster Roast Co-Chairs Daniela Helms and Kim Holleman and their committees 

for a record-smashing event in terms of attendance and revenue raised; 

Hosts Bonnie and Bynum Hunter for opening their fabulous grounds for the 

2011 Oyster Roast; Honorary Chair Shirley Spears for her extra efforts in 

reaching out to the community, Kay Cashion for her guidance in our advocacy 

efforts for continued state and local funding; Greensboro Guild President Judy 

Roy and VP Clay Smith for their determination and successful leadership; Advisor 

Magz King and members of the Junior Guild of Family Service – our next 

generation of Family Service volunteers; and the Family Service staff for their 

daily work to help those in need. 

Each of you makes a difference in this world! Thank you! I appreciate 

you all.

The High Point Foundation had a great year. 

Stan Belk and Alyce Hill had the most successful 

annual campaign High Point has ever seen. 

Even in this tough economic climate, High 

Point truly supported Family Service. In my opinion, that is the beauty of the 

High Point community: the generosity of this community continually amazes 

me. I would put High Point up against any city in the country in per capita 

charitable giving. You can see a physical example in the recently renovated 

lobby of Family Service’s Slane Center, thanks to the folks at Furnitureland 

South. This type of charity in High Point is the rule rather than the exception.

SUMMER 2011 


High Point works hard, but we also like to play hard. Under the direction of 

Linda and Tim Ilderton, the High Point Oyster Roast was one of the most successful 

ever. Frosty and Catharine Culp were kind enough to host one of High 

Point’s best parties. It was a great tribute to our Honorary Chairs, Lin and 

Nancy Amos, who are also responsible for starting the Oyster Roast years ago. 

With these folks behind you, you can only be successful. 

A big thank you also needs to go out to Emilee Brigman and Amanda Covington. 

High Point has been working very hard to lay the groundwork for a successful 

Guild. This year we made some great strides to raise awareness and 

funds with events like Lights of Love and a Middle School Party. Watch this 

group under Julie Andrews and Natalie Norcross. There are some really great 

things coming. 

My passion for Family Service burns brighter today than ever. Six years ago, 

when I decided to take a more active role in Family Service, I was already a 

firm believer in this agency. I have since been amazed and delighted to witness 

the powerful impact Family Service has on our community. I don’t think people 

understand how diverse Family Service is. Unfortunately, people typically 

find their way to Family Service at the low point of their lives. This outstanding 

agency helps people get their lives back on track with dignity intact. 

I urge anyone who wants to know more about Family Service to visit 

www.safeandhealthyfamilies.com or just get in touch with us to find out how 

you can help.

Guild of Greensboro Celebrates Successful Year 

The Guild of Family Service of Greensboro 

Foundation wrapped up an incredible year with 

its annual awards celebration May 19 at Starmount 

Country Club. Incoming president Clay 

Smith challenged Guild members to “get engaged” 

for another year of hands-on fundraising 

and awareness raising for Family Service in 

2011. 

The Guild presented proceeds from its 2010 

events to the agency. Thanks to activities including 

Bundles of Giving, Love Serving Love and 

the Greensboro Oyster Roast, the Guild and Junior 

Guild together raised more than $50,000 

over the year. Family Service President & CEO 

Tom Campbell thanked outgoing Guild President 

Judy Roy and all who contributed. “The 

Guild plays a crucial role in helping our agency 

address domestic violence, child abuse, mental 

health, and financial issues in Greensboro,” 

Campbell said.
