A Quarterly Update On <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Of The <strong>Piedmont</strong>, Inc.<br />
The Strength to Move On: A Survivor’s Story<br />
Not long ago, Lois Williams was imprisoned in an<br />
abusive marriage built on fear. A victim <strong>of</strong> childhood<br />
abuse for much <strong>of</strong> her youth, Lois suffered<br />
into adulthood in relationships filled with cruelty<br />
and violence. At <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Piedmont</strong>,<br />
Lois found <strong>the</strong> support she needed to escape and<br />
begin a new life.<br />
Lois met her husband through a blind date. “That<br />
first night he threatened me and told me if I didn’t<br />
do what he said that he’d kill me,”<br />
she says. “He proceeded to assault<br />
and rape me. Nothing like that had<br />
ever happened to me before. I had<br />
no clue as to what was going on.”<br />
“I stayed with him because <strong>of</strong> fear,”<br />
Lois admits. “He had that intimidating<br />
hold on me.” Four years<br />
later, Lois became pregnant and<br />
married her abuser. “He was in <strong>the</strong><br />
Sheriff’s department at <strong>the</strong> time and<br />
wanted stature and standing in <strong>the</strong><br />
community,” she says.<br />
Lois’ abusive marriage lasted<br />
twenty-two years. “I endured it because<br />
my daughters were too important<br />
to me and I didn’t want to<br />
uproot <strong>the</strong>m,” she says. But finally<br />
she had had enough. “I was exhausted, I was tired,<br />
and I started planning my escape. I began making a<br />
safety plan.”<br />
Lois Williams found safety and escape from<br />
violence at <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Piedmont</strong>.<br />
Lois fled to Greensboro as soon as her youngest<br />
daughter was settled at college. She had been <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
a place to stay by a High School acquaintance.<br />
But that man also turned out to be controlling and<br />
abusive, just like <strong>the</strong> husband she had fled from. “I<br />
had jumped out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> frying pan and into <strong>the</strong> fire,”<br />
she says.<br />
Volunteers Revamp Women’s Shelters<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>’s domestic violence shelters saw a lot<br />
<strong>of</strong> improvements this summer. Clara House in<br />
Greensboro and Carpenter House in High Point<br />
each received an extreme makeover by volunteers<br />
from two local corporate groups.<br />
First, two groups <strong>of</strong> BB&T volunteers adopted <strong>the</strong><br />
shelters for <strong>the</strong>ir company’s Lighthouse Project. They<br />
completely overhauled <strong>the</strong> outdoor areas including<br />
custom-built wooden play sets at both shelters. The<br />
volunteers also created relaxing seating areas for<br />
women to enjoy <strong>the</strong>mselves outdoors. Additional<br />
donations included a bike rack, ping pong table, riding<br />
toys, and a basketball goal.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r BB&T group went shopping for Clara House<br />
and donated a host <strong>of</strong> items, including a brand new<br />
TV and DVD player for <strong>the</strong> living room area, educational<br />
video games, comforters and bed linens,<br />
housewares and storage containers. “All <strong>of</strong> BB&T’s<br />
efforts are greatly appreciated,” said Shelter <strong>Service</strong>s<br />
Coordinator Joanne DeTiere.<br />
Continued on page 2<br />
Resolving not to repeat her last bad relationship, Lois<br />
planned to leave. “When my new boyfriend found<br />
out he blocked <strong>the</strong> door, threw me on <strong>the</strong> couch,<br />
and proceeded to strangle me,” she says. Lois escaped<br />
and sought refuge at a nearby school, where<br />
she spoke with a social worker about her options.<br />
Lois was referred to <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Piedmont</strong>.<br />
She lived at <strong>the</strong> women’s shelter for about a year.<br />
“The staff was such a great group <strong>of</strong> people who<br />
worked to support me,” she remembers. “I honestly<br />
could not have done it without <strong>Family</strong><br />
<strong>Service</strong>. I have no idea where I would<br />
have stayed; I probably would have<br />
been sleeping in my van.” Lois used<br />
her time at <strong>the</strong> shelter to get back on<br />
her feet financially, and to confront<br />
<strong>the</strong> issues that surrounded her from a<br />
lifetime <strong>of</strong> abuse and mistreatment.<br />
“<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> made sure I had <strong>the</strong><br />
assistance I needed,” she says. “I was<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered an abundance <strong>of</strong> programs<br />
and supportive services during my<br />
stay at <strong>the</strong> shelter. Crossroads [<strong>the</strong><br />
agency’s support group for women<br />
who are survivors <strong>of</strong> domestic violence]<br />
was very supportive and encouraging.<br />
That gave me <strong>the</strong> chance<br />
to be around o<strong>the</strong>r women that I had<br />
something in common with and<br />
could actually talk to.” Lois remains close and keeps<br />
up with a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se women today.<br />
The shelter staff and o<strong>the</strong>r residents gave Lois <strong>the</strong><br />
kind <strong>of</strong> encouragement she had rarely experienced.<br />
“If you felt like you didn’t have anything that would<br />
keep you going, <strong>the</strong>y kept you going,” she says.<br />
“<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> has people that genuinely care. That<br />
makes all <strong>the</strong> difference in <strong>the</strong> world. “<br />

Message From The<br />
President & CEO<br />
<strong>Summer</strong>time and <strong>the</strong> living<br />
is easy…or, so <strong>the</strong><br />
song says. Many <strong>of</strong> us can<br />
look back at <strong>the</strong> last couple<br />
<strong>of</strong> months and fondly<br />
remember family vacations,<br />
weekend cookouts<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r relaxing days<br />
enjoying <strong>the</strong> many opportunities<br />
that summer<br />
brings. Unfortunately, for<br />
many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> clients that<br />
we serve, life’s struggles diminish <strong>the</strong> joys <strong>of</strong><br />
summer. You probably read <strong>the</strong> news stories<br />
about a tragic triple homicide in Greensboro<br />
recently, linked to domestic violence. The incident<br />
illustrates just how much work still<br />
needs to be done to end domestic violence and<br />
to educate <strong>the</strong> public about resources available<br />
in our community (such as our domestic violence<br />
shelters, Clara House and Carpenter<br />
House) that can save a life.<br />
Every day, <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> staff work with men,<br />
women and children threatened by violence in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own homes. You can read two examples<br />
in this newsletter. Our front page tells <strong>the</strong><br />
story <strong>of</strong> one woman who came to <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong><br />
to escape a long-term abusive marriage.<br />
Also, on page 5, our recent CARE Award winner<br />
Angie Parker describes how she helps<br />
clients escaping family violence through each<br />
step <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process – from <strong>the</strong> initial crisis call,<br />
to acquiring a protective court order, to referrals<br />
for counseling, shelter, or o<strong>the</strong>r resources.<br />
Angie exemplifies <strong>the</strong> dedication that all <strong>Family</strong><br />
<strong>Service</strong> staff have for <strong>the</strong>ir clients and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
safety. In countless ways each day, <strong>the</strong>y help<br />
prevent <strong>the</strong> threat <strong>of</strong> violence from erupting<br />
into tragedy in <strong>the</strong> lives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> families <strong>the</strong>y<br />
serve.<br />
I am excited to say that <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> has<br />
started a new <strong>the</strong>rapy group for children,<br />
aged five to seventeen, who have been exposed<br />
to violence. We know that witnessing violence<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir homes or communities can have a<br />

traumatic effect on children. Research shows<br />
that for healing to begin, it is important to acknowledge<br />
<strong>the</strong> trauma and encourage children<br />
to talk about it. The new group will enable<br />
children who have been exposed to violence to<br />
become less afraid, less isolated, and feel safe<br />
again.<br />
None <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many programs <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
would be possible without <strong>the</strong> support<br />
that we receive from people like you in our<br />
three communities. Our fundraisers in High<br />
Point, Greensboro and Jamestown have all broken<br />
records this year. You can read about <strong>the</strong>se<br />
events throughout this newsletter. I am immensely<br />
grateful to all <strong>the</strong> volunteers who<br />
helped plan and organize such spectacular<br />
events, and all who contributed. We honestly<br />
could not do it without you and I would like<br />
to thank you on behalf <strong>of</strong> our clients and staff<br />
for your generosity.<br />
Speaking <strong>of</strong> which, I am thrilled to announce<br />
that this year’s Greensboro Greek Festival will<br />
once again support Clara House. This will be<br />
<strong>the</strong> third year <strong>the</strong> popular event has donated<br />
proceeds our shelter. I am very thankful to<br />
Dormition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Theotokos Greek Orthodox<br />
Church for <strong>the</strong>ir continued generosity. Mark<br />
your calendars for <strong>the</strong> Greek Festival, September<br />
16th-18th!<br />
Finally, we have an immediate need for donations<br />
<strong>of</strong> fans <strong>of</strong> all kinds. In this sweltering<br />
summer, many <strong>of</strong> our clients are without air<br />
conditioning, and a simple fan can make all <strong>the</strong><br />
difference. Please help <strong>the</strong>se families beat <strong>the</strong><br />
summer heat by donating new or gently-used<br />
fans to <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>. You can drop <strong>of</strong>f your<br />
donation at our Greensboro, Jamestown, or<br />

“The play areas look fantastic. Their shopping<br />

on our wish list!” Meanwhile, employees<br />
from Syngenta Crop Protection gave<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir time to create a raised container garden<br />
at Carpenter House. Volunteers planted fresh<br />
vegetables including tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers,<br />
pumpkin, and basil. “It was hot,<br />
but everyone worked hard and we had fun<br />
working toge<strong>the</strong>r,” said Syngenta’s Ruhi<br />

“Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong>se projects have greatly improved<br />

said DeTiere. “We are extremely<br />
grateful to BB&T and Syngenta volunteers for<br />
generously giving <strong>the</strong>ir time to make <strong>the</strong> shelters<br />
a more homelike environment for resident<br />
women and <strong>the</strong>ir children.”
Greensboro Oyster Roast : Biggest and Best Ever<br />
The Greensboro Oyster Roast on April 29<br />
wasn’t just a terrific party; it was <strong>the</strong> largest and<br />
most successful fundraiser <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Piedmont</strong> has ever had.<br />
A record turnout <strong>of</strong> 720 guests enjoyed <strong>the</strong> food,<br />
music and festivities at Bonnie and Bynum<br />
Hunter’s home. Around <strong>the</strong> large tents provided<br />
by Grand Rental Station, attendees ate oysters<br />
on <strong>the</strong> lawn and o<strong>the</strong>r edibles from Pepper<br />
Moon Catering, enjoyed <strong>the</strong> company <strong>of</strong> friends<br />
around <strong>the</strong> beautiful candlelit swimming pool,<br />
shopped for jewelry on display by Schiffman’s<br />
(who donated a portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir sales all that<br />
weekend) or danced <strong>the</strong> night away to <strong>the</strong> music<br />
<strong>of</strong> The Magnificents.<br />
The event surpassed all expectations and raised<br />
proceeds <strong>of</strong> more than $141,000 to support programs<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> in Greensboro.<br />
Oyster Roast Co-Chairs Kim Holleman and<br />
Daniela Helms thanked <strong>the</strong> Hunters for playing<br />
host to <strong>the</strong> event. “The Oyster Roast was successful<br />
because Bonnie and Bynum Hunter so generously<br />
shared <strong>the</strong>ir beautiful property – <strong>the</strong> pool,<br />
gazebo, paved areas and lawn,” Helms said. “The<br />
location was a big part <strong>of</strong> our success,” agreed<br />
Holleman. “Ano<strong>the</strong>r was <strong>the</strong> wonderful level <strong>of</strong><br />
corporate sponsorship – we had so many people<br />
▲ Event Chairs Daniela Helms and Kim Holleman, Honorary<br />
Chair Shirley Spears, and home host Bonnie McElveen-Hunter<br />
▲ Peggy Johnson and Betty Nichols<br />
willing to go <strong>the</strong> sponsor route.” Holleman particularly<br />
thanked honorary chair Shirley Spears<br />
for her part in helping to marshal support. “We<br />
are so grateful to Shirley. Her involvement was<br />
key to our incredible level <strong>of</strong> success this year,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We were so fortunate to have a dedicated group<br />
leading our fundraising efforts, not to mention<br />
<strong>the</strong> generosity <strong>of</strong> our donors especially during a<br />
tough economy,” added Helms. In particular,<br />
Grand Rental Station who donated <strong>the</strong> tents and<br />
furnishings. “They really helped create an attractive<br />
and high-quality feel to <strong>the</strong> evening,” she<br />
noted.<br />
Lastly, both Co-Chairs thanked <strong>the</strong>ir hard-working<br />
volunteer committee, consisting <strong>of</strong> Missy<br />

Jamestown Pig Pickin’ Returns to Magnolia Farm<br />
The Jamestown Pig Pickin’ returned for its<br />
second year on Saturday, July 30th. The<br />
fundraiser found even greater success this year<br />
thanks to presenting sponsorTCDI. About 400<br />
people attended <strong>the</strong> event at <strong>the</strong> historic Magnolia<br />
Farm, <strong>the</strong> Jamestown home <strong>of</strong> George and<br />
Jenny Ragsdale. Dr. Don Cameron, President<br />
Emeritus <strong>of</strong> Guilford Technical Community College,<br />
and his wife Jayne served as Honorary<br />
Chairs.<br />
Under and around <strong>the</strong> large tent provided by<br />
Grand Central Station, <strong>the</strong> “shabby chic”<br />
<strong>the</strong>med Pig Pickin’ featured pork and chicken<br />
prepared by BBQ Joe’s and Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Roots<br />
Restaurant. Above and Beyond Catering provided<br />
delicious sides and desserts, while Natty<br />
Greene’s Brewing Co. provided beer. Live music<br />
by Turpentine Shine was <strong>the</strong> perfect background<br />
to entertain guests.<br />
A popular silent auction, led by Doug Susong,<br />
featured a rose garden installation by Wi<strong>the</strong>rspoon<br />
Rose Culture, a Slane and Slane silver<br />
bracelet, and a kayak “made in Jamestown” donated<br />
by Get Outdoors. The auction alone raised<br />
an astonishing $6,200, which helped total funds<br />
raised reach more than $42,000 – almost double<br />
what was raised last year.<br />

Eighty-three Host Couples contributed to <strong>the</strong><br />
event in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> programs. “It<br />
was a collaborative effort; <strong>the</strong> success would not<br />
have been possible without <strong>the</strong> overwhelming<br />
support from <strong>the</strong> Jamestown community residents<br />
and businesses,” said Event Chair Shanna<br />
Moore. “We were able to double <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong><br />
host couples from last year which really made a<br />
difference in <strong>the</strong> net pr<strong>of</strong>it.”<br />
Moore gave special thanks to her planning committee,<br />
including Janis Beshears, Kathy Dick, Jen<br />

SUMMER 2011<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Piedmont</strong><br />
and <strong>the</strong> Greensboro<br />
community were saddened<br />
to learn <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> passing<br />
<strong>of</strong> David Edmond<br />
Wesley Schlosser, son <strong>of</strong><br />
Rebecca and Mike<br />
Schlosser, this June 2 at <strong>the</strong><br />
age <strong>of</strong> 25.<br />
David recently graduated<br />
from Elon University (Class <strong>of</strong> 2011), with a<br />
BS in Computer Science, and a minor in Psychology<br />
and Ma<strong>the</strong>matics. Previously, David<br />
attended Greensboro Day School where he<br />
was co-captain <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wrestling team and a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> National Honor Society.<br />
David will be remembered as a loving and<br />
caring son and bro<strong>the</strong>r. Although he struggled<br />
with bipolar disorder, he lived life to <strong>the</strong><br />
fullest, enjoying a wide array <strong>of</strong> friends and a<br />
zeal for music and computers. He celebrated<br />
life with enthusiasm, gratitude and optimism.<br />
David's non-judgmental outlook combined<br />
with his unwavering loyalty made him<br />
a friend to everyone.<br />

One person can make a difference. You never<br />
know when something you say or do will<br />
make a pr<strong>of</strong>ound change in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> someone<br />
who is secretly hurting or afraid. This is<br />
why our work with <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Piedmont</strong> is so crucial, for we <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
children and families in need concrete programs, support, and tools for change<br />
to build healthier, happier, and safer lives.<br />
This year, <strong>the</strong> Clara House and Carpenter House Shelters for battered women<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ir children, our Children’s Advocacy Centers for sexually abused children,<br />
our in-home <strong>Family</strong> Preservation program, <strong>the</strong> 24-hour crisis line, Domestic<br />
Violence Intervention Program for batterers, and Healthy Start were all<br />
programs which faced reduced services due to funding cuts. Thanks to countless<br />
volunteer hours, we broke Greensboro’s fundraising records and were political<br />
activists at a crucial time in continuing <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>. Next<br />
year will be ano<strong>the</strong>r critical time, and you are needed!<br />
As a twenty-year volunteer for <strong>the</strong> Agency, <strong>the</strong> opportunity to serve as <strong>the</strong><br />
2010-2011 Chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> Greensboro Foundation was a joy and a<br />
blessing. I am grateful for <strong>the</strong> commitment, generosity, and open hearts <strong>of</strong><br />
each Foundation Trustee, Guild member, and <strong>the</strong> many fund-raising and<br />
friend-raising volunteers and sponsors who made this year <strong>of</strong> need a tremendous<br />
success. At each meeting, I challenged all to act boldly with Enthusiasm,<br />
Passion, and Responsibility and to be daily ambassadors for <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>.<br />
Thank you for your work and for living this challenge.<br />

Message from <strong>the</strong> High Point Foundation Chair<br />

Outgoing Chair,<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>of</strong> High Point Foundation<br />
Born and bred: High Point, NC<br />
Education: W<strong>of</strong>ford College<br />

Job title: Vice President <strong>of</strong> Sales, Colonial, LLC.<br />

The High Point Foundation had a great year.<br />
Stan Belk and Alyce Hill had <strong>the</strong> most successful<br />
annual campaign High Point has ever seen.<br />
Even in this tough economic climate, High<br />
Point truly supported <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>. In my opinion, that is <strong>the</strong> beauty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
High Point community: <strong>the</strong> generosity <strong>of</strong> this community continually amazes<br />
me. I would put High Point up against any city in <strong>the</strong> country in per capita<br />
charitable giving. You can see a physical example in <strong>the</strong> recently renovated<br />
lobby <strong>of</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>’s Slane Center, thanks to <strong>the</strong> folks at Furnitureland<br />
South. This type <strong>of</strong> charity in High Point is <strong>the</strong> rule ra<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> exception.<br />

SUMMER 2011<br />
A Quarterly Update On <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Of The <strong>Piedmont</strong>, Inc.<br />
High Point works hard, but we also like to play hard. Under <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>of</strong><br />
Linda and Tim Ilderton, <strong>the</strong> High Point Oyster Roast was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most successful<br />
ever. Frosty and Catharine Culp were kind enough to host one <strong>of</strong> High<br />
Point’s best parties. It was a great tribute to our Honorary Chairs, Lin and<br />
Nancy Amos, who are also responsible for starting <strong>the</strong> Oyster Roast years ago.<br />
With <strong>the</strong>se folks behind you, you can only be successful.<br />
A big thank you also needs to go out to Emilee Brigman and Amanda Covington.<br />
High Point has been working very hard to lay <strong>the</strong> groundwork for a successful<br />
Guild. This year we made some great strides to raise awareness and<br />
funds with events like Lights <strong>of</strong> Love and a Middle School Party. Watch this<br />
group under Julie Andrews and Natalie Norcross. There are some really great<br />
things coming.<br />
My passion for <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> burns brighter today than ever. Six years ago,<br />
when I decided to take a more active role in <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong>, I was already a<br />
firm believer in this agency. I have since been amazed and delighted to witness<br />
<strong>the</strong> powerful impact <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> has on our community. I don’t think people<br />
understand how diverse <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> is. Unfortunately, people typically<br />
find <strong>the</strong>ir way to <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> at <strong>the</strong> low point <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir lives. This outstanding<br />
agency helps people get <strong>the</strong>ir lives back on track with dignity intact.<br />
I urge anyone who wants to know more about <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Service</strong> to visit<br />
www.safeandhealthyfamilies.com or just get in touch with us to find out how<br />
you can help.<br />
