A Quarterly Update On Family Service Of The Piedmont, Inc.
Fairview Center Builds
Healthy Families in High Point
Antwan (pictured) is an 8th
grade student who enjoys visiting
Family Service’s Fairview Family
Resource Center (FFRC).
Antwan attends the Center daily to
work on homework, play games
and enjoy time with friends in a
safe and healthy environment.
Antwan is the youngest of three
brothers. He loves to play basketball and baseball. He has dreams of
attending Harvard or UNC-Chapel
Hill and becoming a lawyer or a
basketball player. At the FFRC,
Antwan participates in Youth Leaders for Southside, a
group whose activities include donating food and working on
projects to help make the community better.
The FFRC is a place where Family Service of the Piedmont’s
vision – building safe and healthy families – becomes concrete. The Center serves low-income families in the Fairview
Elementary School District through community-based programs and services. The major goals of the FFRC are to increase parenting skills, prepare children to enter and succeed
in school, improve overall family functioning, and create a
safe and healthy environment throughout the community.
The FFRC served 436 children and adults last year.
96% of the FFRC participants report improved
knowledge of preventing child abuse and neglect.
The FFRC offers a full range of educational programs and activities for parents and children. Services include parenting
groups, after school and summer activities, case management
and character building classes for teens. For some children, it
is the only option, other than being unsupervised, where they
can go and have a safe place to spend their time.
Throughout the year, the FFRC hosts a variety of
character development programs for Southside
neighborhood children. Antwan is one of many
boys who attended the Boys Night Out event this
June, sponsored by POLO Ralph Lauren. The
night was designed especially for boys in the neighborhood to do things together that interest them.
“It’s a time for bonding and an event that is meant
to really make them feel special,” says Donita
Williams, Outreach Specialist and Case Manager
with the FFRC. POLO employees served hot dogs
and played games with the kids. The boys were
treated to a talk by a male Polo employee who
stressed how important it was to be responsible,
stay in school and be accountable for your own actions.
The FFRC also hosted a Girl’s Night Out for the young
ladies of Southside. The girls came together to eat, dance and
get pampered by stylists, manicurists and beauty consultants.
Stylists from Tazz & Co. Hair Design Studio did the girls’
hair. Veronica Quick, Owner of Serenity Styling Salon,
talked about hair care and provided goodie bags. Tracey
Fields-Hedrick, Mary Kay Consultant and Sales Director,
provided information about skin care. Dr. Sebrina CookeDavis, Parenting Educator with Family Life Council, talked
to the girls about promoting self-confidence and speaking
positive words about themselves. One young lady in attendance stated, “I learned how to love myself and have self-esteem.”
“Both events were very well attended and a great success,”
states FFRC Program Manager Andrea Dalporto. “Boys and
Girls Night Out provides a safe place for the Southside
youth. In addition to being fun, the youth learn life-long
skills that may help them find success in the future.”
Back to School: Talk to Your Kids About Bullying
Bullying can happen to anyone. Statistics show one in
five children admits to being bullied at school. Bullying
can affect a child’s school performance as well as their social and emotional development. With a new school year
upon us, bullying may be a concern for your child. Family
Service of the Piedmont’s Director of Counseling Services
Theresa Johnson offers advice on talking to your kids
about bullying and tips on what to do if your child is a
victim of bullying at school.
“Children need to feel empowered to be able to tell someone if they’re being bullied,” Johnson says. “Parents need
to give their children the skills to prevent bullying from
happening, by teaching them confidence and self-assurance. Like a child predator, bullies pray on children who
are unassuming and won’t speak up for themselves. Kids
have to be careful with whining or being meek because
there’s always a bully looking for a victim.”

Message from the President
You’ve heard of “Christmas in July.” Well, I’m
celebrating “Thanksgiving in August” due to the
overwhelming gratitude
that I feel for our directors, trustees, community
supporters and staff.
As we end our 2011-12 fiscal year, the agency is in a
very different position than a couple of years ago.
Like many nonprofits, Family Service of the Piedmont struggled in recent years due to the downturn
in the economy. Fortunately, thanks to the guidance
of our Board of Directors and Boards of Trustees, we
were able to turn this economic threat into many opportunities.
We knew that to weather this storm, it would take a
combination of sound fiscal management and increased efforts at fundraising. We also had to examine all our programs and outcomes to ensure the
funds we receive were having the greatest possible impact. I am very happy to report that these efforts are
seeing results - our agency is in a solid financial position, we are mission-focused, and the outlook is optimistic.
The level of support we received this year from the
Greensboro, High Point and Jamestown communities has been amazing. We wrapped up successful
Annual Campaigns (see donor list beginning on
page 5) and we enjoyed a phenomenal Greensboro
Oyster Roast, which surpassed even last year’s
record-breaking event in terms of attendance and
money raised (see story on page 3). The 2012
Jamestown Pig Pickin’ likewise broke records and
took this fledgling event to new heights in its third
year (see story on page 4).
I am immensely grateful to everyone who helped
plan and organize these wonderful events, or who
gave money or goods to support them. Family Service is increasingly dependent on money we raise ourselves through fundraisers such as these. Both our
Oyster Roasts and the Pig Pickin’ have become so
popular and well established, I am confident we will
continue to see great things from these events in future years.
These efforts of our boards and our community supporters are truly making a difference in the lives of
children and families throughout Guilford County
and beyond. And of course our agency would not be
what it is without the amazing staff of Family Service. I am always impressed by the dedication and
professionalism exhibited by our staff as they provide
high quality programs for our most vulnerable neighbors.
So I say thank you to our staff, our boards, our supporters, and to all our friends like you. You give me
great hope that 2012-13 will be another successful
and effective year for Family Service of the Piedmont.
Continued from page 1
It’s important for parents to speak to their children about what different forms of bullying
may look like. Bullying can include not only
physical intimidation but also verbal and relational abuse. Being left out of a certain group
and having rumors or lies spread about you are
indirect forms of bullying. Cyber bullying is a
growing form of bullying which can oftentimes
be more hurtful; kids may be crueler online
when they don’t have to face their target in person.
Johnson emphasizes the importance of achieving a peaceful resolution while still standing up
for yourself and not letting someone run over
you. “Parents and schools have to get involved,” she says. The following are seven tips
which Johnson encourages parents to discuss
and even practice with their kids, to help prevent or put an end to the issue of bullying altogether:
Seven Solutions
to Bullying
1. Be assertive. Walk with awareness,
calm, and confidence.
2. Donʼt put yourself in situations to be
bullied. Simply walking away, stepping
out of line or changing seats is often the
safest choice.

Bullying
3. Set Boundaries. If you are in a situation
where you cannot simply leave, set a
clear boundary. Use a calm but clear
voice and polite firm words.
4. Use Your Voice. Look the bully in the
eye and speak in a firm voice saying
“No!” “Stop!” or “I don't like that." Leave
and go to an adult for help.
5. Donʼt let name calling or rejection get
in the way of your happiness.
6. Be self-promoting and speak up for
inclusion. Being left out is a major form of
bullying. Parents, ask your child the
reasons that kids give for excluding him or
her. Use those reasons so your child can
practice persisting. For example, if the
reason is, "You're not good enough," your
child can practice saying "I'll get better if I
practice!" If the reason is, "There are too
many already," your child might practice
saying, "There's always room for one more."
7. Be persistent about telling someone.
Family Service of the Piedmont is available
to give anti-bullying workshops for children.

Greensboro Oyster Roast Breaks All Records
The 2012 Greensboro Oyster
Roast brought a crowd of 1,000
people to the home of The Honorable Aldona Wos and Mr. Louis
DeJoy on April 27 for a fabulous
night of great food, music and entertainment.
A joint venture between Family Service’s Greensboro Foundation and
The Guild of Family Service of
Greensboro, this year’s Oyster Roast
featured food by The Painted Plate
and music from The Magnificents.
The event presented by New Breed Logistics surpassed all previous agency expectations in terms of
attendance, popularity, and fundraising success. The
Oyster Roast netted proceeds of more than $175,000
to help support programs of Family Service in Greensboro. Chairs Dixie Culver and Phyllis Lancaster
were quick to recognize the influence of past Oyster
Roasts, as well as the additional efforts put in by this
year’s supporters.
“The venue was fundamental in making this a success,” said Culver. “Our Home Hosts were very
hands-on, community oriented, and contributed
much
in both funds and fundraising skills. They went
above and beyond what we could have ever asked.
At the same time, last year’s Oyster Roast was so
successful and well attended, everyone was excited
to come back this year. Each year our committees
and chairs have grown the event to where we are
today. “
The Chairs also thanked Honorary Chair Kay
Stern, Family Service and Greensboro Foundation
Boards, and the hard-working Oyster Roast Committee made up of Guild members and volunteers
from the community.
“These ladies were ready to help at all times, with
fundraising, signage, flowers, and so on,” Culver said.
“It was amazing how helpful the committee was in
getting everything together.”
200 couples and individuals from the Greensboro
Community supported the event as Hosts. 125
more individuals and businesses were sponsors, including Platinum Sponsors Pace Communications,
The Halstead Foundation, Kay Stern (Honorary
Chair), VF Corporation, and Wells Fargo. (See
box for full sponsor list.)
Family Service is grateful to everyone who attended
or supported the event. We look forward to another
record-breaking Oyster Roast in 2013!

The 2012 Jamestown Pig Pickin’: Cork and Pork is
an event that will not be forgotten. The Third Annual
fundraiser on August 4th brought 575 guests to
Magnolia Farm, the home of Jenny and George
Ragsdale. This year’s event received rave reviews and
gained community-wide attention by featuring the
heart and soul of beach music band, The Embers. A
combination of great music, delicious pork and
chicken from BBQ Joe’s and wine tastings by local
vineyards all contributed to an evening which people
could not stop talking about.
The event presented by TCDI raised $54,000 to support
local programs of Family Service of the Piedmont. Mark
Whitesell with Grand Rental Station served as Event
Chair and led a committee of dedicated and enthusiastic
volunteers. Kathy Johnson and Tricia Seymour, with
the decoration committee, transformed the historic
grounds into a Tuscan paradise. Every detail, from the
grape vine wrapped trellis to the hand-painted shutters at
each entrance of the tent, added to the ambiance.
Southern Roots Restaurant contributed a lovely appetizer assortment, Above and Beyond Catering
provided sides and desserts and Natty Greene’s and
R.H. Barringer donated beer. The ever popular
silent auction, headed by Doug Susong and Jay McQuillan, was paired with a live auction led by auctioneer Billy Ragsdale. The combination of auctions
was a huge hit and raised $9,000
An all-time record of 90 Host couples supported the
event. “I think this was the best party I have ever attended,” stated Event Chair, Mark Whitesell. “It
couldn't have happened without George and Jenny
Ragsdale, a phenomenal energetic committee, and
the hard working Family Service staff.” Whitesell
concluded, “This same committee has agreed to do it
next year. All I can say is, you think this year’s event
was profitable and fun - wait until next year!"

Helping Hands: Making a Difference
Family Service is grateful to all our donors and volunteers, who share our
vision of building safe and healthy families in our community. Here are
just a few individuals and groups who have made a special effort for Family Service in recent months.
Students from Peeler Open Elementary’s Kids Care Club donated pajamas and books to the
children residing at Clara House
and Carpenter House, Family Service’s domestic violence shelters.
The after school service club is
open to grades K-5 and undertakes a community project each
month.
The Women on Mission Union of the Piedmont Association sponsored a prayer retreat and donated
funds to support Family Services
battered women’s shelter, Carpenter House. $968 was donated
from the fundraiser dinner which
included a pinto bean supper,
corn bread and all the trimmings.

As part of their Spring Missions,
The Baptist Women’s Club at
Parkwood Baptist Church in
High Point collected change to
donate to Family Service of the
Piedmont. $245 was collected
and donated in support of victims of abuse. The group also
made a huge donation of baby
items to be used by Healthy
Start and shelter clients.
As part of their Movers for Moms national
campaign, Two Men and a Truck collected
and delivered gifts for women residing at Family Service’s domestic violence shelters. Donations included comfort items such as nice
soaps, hair styling products, pillows, blankets,
slippers and robes. 2012 marked the fifth year
for the program which honors women and
mothers for Mother’s Day.
Family Service was a recipient of the BB&T
Lighthouse project from BB&T in
Greensboro. The group donated over
$500 worth of bus passes for clients
who otherwise may not be able to afford fare to get to their appointments.
The group also donated a large number of books and therapy games to be
used by outpatient mental health
counselors.
Premier Federal Credit Union held a Hot Dog
sale in support of Family Service of the Piedmont.
The dedicated employees braved the 100 degree
temperatures to hold the sale which raised an astonishing $1,553.76!
The members of the Alpha Rho
Chapter of Eta Phi Beta Sorority donated a check to Family
Service for victims of domestic violence to be used in purchasing
supplies for the shelter. Pictured

Adams and Georgia Shepard
Memorial Presbyterian Church in Greensboro donated their benevolence funds for the month of June to Clara House. The church unanimously voted to support the shelter to benefit the women who are
impacted by abuse so that they can begin to rebuild their lives.
Saint George Greek Orthodox Church in High Point donated $350 to
Family Service which was raised from their spaghetti dinner. The
monthly dinner features a variety of delicious Greek pastries and a
spaghetti dinner and is open to the public.
Family Service of the Piedmont’s Fairview
Family Resource Center (FFRC) received a
$25,000 grant from Glaxo-Smith Kline to
help fund the Kids Connect garden project,
nutrition workshops, summer workshops,
and two National Family Week events.
“We are very grateful to Glaxo-Smith Kline
for this grant,” said Sue Spidell, the agency’s
Director of Family Support Services. “The funds will enable us to conduct activities and educational programs for children and families in
Southside and help fulfill our mission to build safe and healthy families
throughout the community.”
Family Service of the Piedmont was proud to support and provide volunteers for 2012 High Point Cycling Classic. The bike race downtown
was well attended by the community and showcased the city of High
Point. Family Service received funds from this year’s Criterium and is excited to participate in helping with the
USA Cycling National Championships
next year.
With a commitment to service above self,
Rotary Club of Funitureland donated
$1,000 to support Family Service in its
mission of building safe and healthy families throughout the community. (Pictured: Jody Susong and Jef Morgan)
