In Uncertain Times, CCCS Helps Restore HopeRosemary Latham had it all planned out. She

would continue her job as a machine operator untilshe had saved enough

money, then return toschool to become a reg-istered nurse. Herplans were abruptlychanged when the man-ufacturing plant whereshe worked was forcedto close. Rosemary wasleft unemployed andunsure of what the fu-ture would bring.

“I didn’t know what I was going to do,” says Rosemary.“We got word of the plant closing from the news beforewe were even told in person. About 315 people got laidoff that day.”

Rosemary was able to make ends meet until her unemployment benefits were decreased. Suddenly, herincome was no longer enough to meet her mortgage requirements. Rosemary was at risk of losing her home,and her independence.

A friend was receiving help from Consumer CreditCounseling Service (CCCS) at Family Service of the Piedmont, and suggested Rosemary do the same. Soon Rosemary was connected with Consumer Credit Counselor Jeddy Rodriquez for help saving her home.

“Jeddy was very helpful,” Rosemary remembers. “Shehelped me apply for the Mortgage Payment Program

and was with me every step of the way. She helpedme compile all of the required documents, andnavigate the entire process from start to finish.”

The Mortgage Payment Program helps homeowners who have been made unemployedthrough no fault of their own to receive state-funded interest free loans, which allow them to keep up with mortgage payments whilethey search or train for a new job.

Since starting the program in December 2010,CCCS has helped more than 720 local homeownersreceive approximately $13 million in mortgage payment assistance.

Rosemary was approved for 25 months of mortgage assistance while she returns to school. With the help ofCCCS, Rosemary was able to get back on track after the unexpected loss of her job. She is also taking abudgeting class at CCCS to help create and maintain a budget plan.

“It’s such a relief to know that I don’t have to worryabout losing my house now,” says Rosemary. “If itwasn’t for this program and the help I received fromFamily Service, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’ve always wanted to do. I’m following my dreams andeverything is looking up.”

Safe and Healthy Night Out for Southside YouthFamily Service of the Piedmont’s Fairview Family Resource Center(FFRC) held its annualBoys Night Out and Girls Night Out in June.The events for boys and

girls from High Point’s Southside neighborhood aredesigned to encourage young people to becomestrong leaders in their community.

This year’s Boys Night Out featured a basketballskills challenge hosted by volunteers from HighPoint University’s Men’s Basketball Team andRecreation Services staff. “It really made our

guys feel special,” said FFRC Education CoordinatorLamonica Mitchell. “The basketball players weregreat role models forthem.”

Boys in attendance also enjoyed a hot dog supperand live jazz music by The Storytellers Band.Volunteer Ralph Mitchellled a discussion on the importance of never givingup, not allowing others to put you down, and encour-aging yourself.

Message from the PresidentThe end of summer marksthe start of a new year forFamily Service of the Piedmont. I hope you will join us as we reflect onthe year’s successes and challenges, and look forwardto the year to come, at ourAnnual Meeting luncheon,September 23rd at Sedgefield Country Club.

We have had a successful year in many ways. First andforemost, our success is measured by change in the livesof the families we serve. Our cover story tells of one out-of-work homeowner faced with foreclosure, whofound new hope through our Mortgage Protection Program. This story is just one of many examples. Eachday our amazing staff is working to empower childrenand adults to regain financial, mental and family health;to rise above a history of domestic violence or sexualabuse; to find strength, restore stability and thrive.

Our outstanding leadership team is key to the success ofour agency. I am happy to welcome Shay Harger as our new Director of Victim Services, overseeing our programs for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault,and other violent crime. Shay’s responsibilities will include the relaunch of Harmony House – our supervised visitation and exchange program has been approved to resume operations this year.

Our agency’s success depends on our ability to fund ourprograms effectively. Last year, 27% of our fundingcame from government grants. We know this numberwill only decrease in future years. But the needs of thefamilies and children we serve are becoming no less urgent. Our clients are increasingly reliant upon people

like you who support our agency in so many ways. Lastyear, individual and corporate donations, including giving through local United Ways and directly to FamilyService, made up more than 40% of our revenue. I amhappy and grateful to say that this number is increasing,thanks to the steadfast generosity of our many friendsand supporters.

In particular, this year our Special Events saw remarkablegrowth. Our 19th Annual High Point Oyster Roast,presented by Smart Choice, was the biggest and bestever. (Save the date of March 7th 2014 for the 20thAnniversary Oyster Roast, sure to be an even bigger hitin High Point!) Our Greensboro Oyster Roast’s 10thAnniversary event, presented by VF, was another spectacularevening of good food, good friends and great entertainment(see story on opposite page). Finally, our 4th Annual PigPickin’ also broke records and helped cement that event’sgrowing reputation as the best summer night out inJamestown (see story on page 4).

Together, these events raised a net income of more than $450,000, an increase of 32% over last year. Thisincredible result testifies to the generosity and vision ofour community, as well as the talents and tenacity of ourvolunteer event committees. I am immensely grateful toeveryone who helped plan and execute these fabulousevents. Let’s keep up the momentum for even greaterthings in 2014!

To be successful, a human services agency requires threethings: a committed and capable staff, sound management,and strong community support. Family Service of thePiedmont has displayed all three magnificently in thepast year. With your help, we will continue building onour strengths in the coming year as we work for safe andhealthy families in the Piedmont Triad.

A little rain didn’t dampen the Fourth AnnualJamestown Pig Pickin’ on August 10th.This year’s event with a beach party themedrew a crowd of more than 550 people andraised proceeds of $65,000 for Family Serviceof the Piedmont.

Uncooperative weather threatened to spoil the event. Thankfully, PigPickin’ Committee Co-Chair Mark Whitesell, Corporate Manager forGrand Rental Station, stepped up and supplied additional tents to keepguests dry and happy. “Mark really went above and beyond in makingthe last minute changes needed to prepare for the rain,” said his Co-ChairKris Flynt. “The people of Jamestown didn’t let a little wet weatherkeep them away! I ’m honored to be a part of such a caring and dedicatedcommunity.”

Bright colored umbrellas andbeach towels, hanging tropicalfish and an array of seasidedécor conceived by KathyJohnson and Tricia Seymourtransformed the grounds ofMagnolia Farm, the historichome of Jenny and George Ragsdale, into a coastal paradise. Guests

raved over the delicious spread of all-you-can-eat BBQ and Chicken donated by BBQ Joe’s, southern sidesand desserts by Above and BeyondCatering, and a delightful assortmentof appetizers by Southern Roots

Restaurant. Music and dancing was the main appeal of the event as heartand soul of beach music band The Embers returned for a second year.

Guests also enjoyed a fun photo booth, a live auction presented by professional auctioneer Jon Manring, and a silent auction featuringitems from merchants throughout the Jamestown area. Together the auctions raised $11,500. After theevent was done, members and friendsof Adams Farm CommunityChurch Boy Scout Troop 3volunteered to help clear the site.

“Each year’s Pig Pickin’ seems to getbetter and better,” Whitesell said.“This year featured many new elements that added to the excitement andfun of the event. We had lots of great sponsors and 121 host couples, anall time high! It was another great experience serving alongside of thishardworking and dedicated committee.
