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 />

Wes Keever<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 />

High Point University, MBA<br />

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

<strong>Family</strong>: Wife Mary, Daughters Dory (8) and<br />

Abby (5)<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 />
