From the CEO, Wilson Sheldon
In this issue of
the Friends Homes
Update, we feature stories about
three organizations, outside the
walls of Friends
Homes, in which
our staff and residents are involved. Our involvement
with Relay for Life began over twenty
years ago when the son of a staff member was diagnosed with cancer and his
family formed a Relay for Life team to
raise money for cancer care and research.
Many co-workers offered their support
to this family, actually joining them in
walking the track, and the next year
Friends Homes employees formed their
own team. Each year the team has a
number of fund-raising events prior to
the Relay for Life event. For the past
five years, Friends Homes has been one
of the top teams in Greensboro in the
amount of money they raised.
The second worthy cause that Friends
Homes supports is the Annual Alzheimer’s Walk. Our staff works each day with
residents who have memory issues.
Their commitment of time and energy
to raise funds for research to combat this
debilitating disease is indicative of the
concern they have to improve the lives
of the residents in their care. For this
campaign also, our fund-raising ranked
us among the top ten in the city.
Our third event is the Annual
CROP Walk, which raises money to
support the Urban Ministry and to
help to banish hunger nationwide.
This initiative has been spear-headed
by residents for many years. There has
even been some friendly competition
between our two campuses to see which
could raise the most money. Friends
Homes, as an organization, is a sponsor
for the CROP Walk.
These are three examples of how
the residents and staff of our Friends
Homes campuses reach out beyond our

those in need. It is certainly a blessing
to work with and for so many kind and
compassionate people.
It is also inspiring to see so many of
our residents volunteering in the community and continuing to do so after
they move to Friends Homes. They
show us daily the meaning of active
aging. Paul Brackbill, at age 100, is an
outstanding example of this concept,
and we congratulate him for being recognized by the Volunteer Center as one
of two outstanding volunteers in the
city. We also encourage our residents to
invite their community groups, church

forward to having families from out

Korea. When he had a furlough in 1956,
he came to Japan and for the first time
met Yoshiko, with whom he’d been corresponding for almost two years. The
next year, after he was discharged, he
returned to Japan and they were married.
Her family spoke no English and she had
never met his family until she arrived at
the airport in Boston as his bride.
Dona’s husband, Lucius, finished seminary and earned masters degrees in audiovisual and religious studies. In 1955, he,
Dona and their two small sons, were sent
to Tokyo by the Baptist General Conference. Dona, the person who’d never traveled, found herself on board a ship bound
for Hawaii and then on to Tokyo. Always
adventuresome, Dona made friends easily,
embraced the Japanese culture, and studied the language intensively for one year.
Her daughter, Susan, was born in Tokyo.
Ironically, Dona and Yoshiko were both
living in Tokyo in 1956. After that point,
their life stories were different.
Lucius’ assignment was to translate
Bible story books into Japanese. Later they
moved to Kushimoto in Southern Honshu. Their family was the only Caucasian
family in town so Dona’s immersion into
Japanese culture was complete. She says
the Japanese people were the epitome
of kindness and having children was an
immediate ice breaker making it easier to
be accepted.
Two years after they were married, Yoshiko and her husband gave birth to a son,
Roy. Frederick had a law degree and was
helping the Friends but his first love was
always teaching. They moved to Emory,
VA where he taught economics at Emory
& Henry College. When Guilford College
offered him a position teaching economics, the family moved to Greensboro and
Frederick was delighted to be teaching in
a Quaker School. Sadly, in 1979 at age
51, Frederick died.
Dona’s family had many assignments
after Japan, and she lived in Korea, Laos
and in Hawaii. While in Hawaii, Dona
completed her Masters degree in Asian
Studies. She had a career as an educator

H
arold Pitts is committed to helping alleviate hunger. This year for
the third time, he co-chaired the CROP
Walk at Friends Homes West with Irwin
Smallwood. This is just a small part of
what Harold does. He has been involved
with Greensboro Urban Ministry since
the 1980s and was on the Board of Directors. In 1993 and 1994, he chaired the
CROP Walk for the city.
A 1956 founding member of Christ
United Methodist Church of Greensboro,
NC, Harold was instrumental in starting
church outreach programs to combat
hunger including mission trips to Bolivia.
Through the Hamilton Lakes Lions Club,
he has worked on their primary focus “prevent blindness – early detection” by coordinating the Lions Vision Van that provides free vision screening, working with
school nurses to provide vision screening
for 1500 to 2000 students each year, and
coordinating eye exams and glasses for
those in need. Harold estimates that he
has worked with over 1000 patients since
beginning the program in 2004.
For the past 56 years, Harold has
maintained a perfect attendance record

Residents of Friends Homes Support Community Activities
R
esidents of Friends Homes, Inc. are
enthusiastic supporters of fund raising events to benefit the greater Greensboro community. Three examples of their
support this year have been the fund
raising and participation of residents and
staff in Relay for Life, the Walk to End
Alzheimer’s and CROP Hunger Walk.
Relay for Life
Since 1996, Friends Homes has raised
close to $135,000 for the American
Cancer Society through Relay for Life.
Alice Carroll, Friends Homes Director of
Special Projects, says this year contributions totaled more than $10,000 making
Friends Homes the third highest money
raising team. Fund raising efforts go on
throughout the year with a yard sale and
chicken pot pie luncheon being popular
events in addition to the actual Relay for
Life event which was held in May.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s
Four years ago, the residents and staff
of Friends Homes at Guilford also began
supporting the Walk to End Alzheimer’s,
a national effort to raise awareness and
funds for eliminating Alzheimer’s. More
than 600 communities across the nation
participate in the walk and the Greensboro Alzheimer’s Association sponsored
the local walk on October 12th. At
Friends Homes, activities included
selling popcorn, bracelets and forgetme-not’s and on October 11th, the day
before the Walk, residents of Friends
Homes had their own walk.
Residents of Whittier Nursing Center
at Friends Homes at Guilford along with
staff from nursing, housekeeping and dietary services walked carrying purple and
white balloons. Jeanne Cooper, Assistant
Director of Nursing at Friends Homes
at Guilford, said, “We are involved with
the Greensboro Alzheimer’s Association
and since we have a Memory Care Unit,
we feel strongly that we should support
the Walk. Not only did we have our own
walk at Friends Homes but about 20 of
our staff members participated in the
Walk on October 12th.”

CROP Hunger Walk
The Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk and Run is the second largest
in the US and drew an estimated 3,000
people on Sunday, October 20th. Since its
inception 33 years ago, it has raised nearly
$5 million. In recent years, it has averaged
some $200,000 a year, $50,000 of which
goes to the Greensboro Urban Ministry’s
Potter’s House community kitchen.
The Rev. Mike Aiken, head of Greensboro Urban Ministry said hunger is at
the worst level he has seen in his 30
years here. He says the need has almost
doubled in the last five years and that
now translates into sometimes 700 hot
meals a day provided for the hungry
people of Greater Greensboro.
Both Friends Homes at Guilford and
Friends Homes West have been staunch
supporters of the Crop Hunger Walk.
The Friends Homes West CROP Walk
is co-chaired by Irwin Smallwood and
Harold Pitts. Last year, the community
raised $5,750 which ranked them seventh
among the city’s participating organizations. This year, the CROP Walk at
Friends Homes West was held on October
17th. To date, $5,064 has been raised but
the campaign will continue for another
few weeks. Taylor Owens is heading up
the CROP Walk at Friends Homes at
Guilford. Because of October scheduling
conflicts; it will be held in November.
Fall Festival
For residents of Friends Homes at
Guilford, the Fall Festival, a variety
show starring employees, is a highlight.
Employees came up with the idea of
producing a show twelve years ago as a
special thank you to the residents for the
Employee Appreciation Fund.
The goal is to get as many employees from as many departments as possible involved in the show. This year’s
production, “Ed Sullivan Presents” was
on October 23rd. The theme featured
a variety of acts such as Dean Martin,
The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, The Jackson 5 and Janet, The
Silent Singing Nuns, Elvis Presley and
a crowd favorite, The Village People.
Sheila Dunning, Director of Special
Services at Friends Homes at Guilford
says, “The residents appreciate our efforts in creating a fun and entertaining
show. The employees enjoy taking on
the persona of the stars and seeing our

residents laugh and have a great time.
Over the years, we have produced such
shows as ‘Friends Homes Got Talent’,
‘Let’s Go to the Circus’, ‘Famous TV
and Movie Families’ and ‘The Funny
Fashion Show’. When each year’s show
is over the most asked question is
‘How are you going to top this one?’!
But every year, we always get the same
comment from our residents, ‘This was
the best show yet!’ ”
