WOMEN’S RESOURCE CENTER OF GREENSBORO RAISES OVER $100,000 AT MEN CAN COOK FUNDRAISER

"Men Can Cook, the signature fundraiser for the Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro, set a new record recently. With the support of over 50 community ‘chefs’ preparing their signature dishes, attendees participating in a silent auction and with the support of numerous Corporate Sponsors the event raised over $100,000.        

This year’s event was held in celebration of the agency’s 20^th anniversary of service to women and families in the community. The event included musical entertainment from both Wally West and The Easy Greens, who played a mixture of original and ‘old’ tunes to the delight of the crowd. 

“The Women’s Resource Center is proud and honored to have the longtime support of Chris Barbee/Oppenheimer; local men who are ‘famous in their own kitchens’ and so many local businesses who provide an affordable and unique shopping opportunity for our guests” said Ashley Brooks, Executive Director.

All proceeds from the event support the WRC’s mission: to promote the self-reliance of women by assessing needs, providing services and acting as a gateway to community resources. WRC is a non-profit agency which served over 9,000 women in our community last year and provides strategic leadership through collaboration and partnerships within the community. "

Local Attorney Presents Seminar on Child Custody & Support in NC at Women’s Center of Greensboro

The event is open to women with questions on family law issues

"Greensboro, NC – Brinkley Walser Stoner attorney Roy L. McDonald II will discuss common issues involving child custody and child support at a free seminar on Jan. 8 at the Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro. The seminar will begin at 11am and is open to Triad area women.

“Child custody and support issues are easily the most challenging areas of family law,” says McDonald. “It’s best for the children involved if both parents can arrive at an amicable solution, either working together or through a mediator. When that isn’t feasible, it’s important for the parties to understand their rights and responsibilities under North Carolina law. I hope this seminar will address many of the questions and concerns women may have about custody and support challenges.” The seminar will be held at The Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro located at 628 Summit Avenue in Greensboro on Jan. 8 at 11am and discuss the following:

·         Factors reviewed by the court in making custody determinations

·         What happens when parents cannot agree to visitation terms or violate those terms

·         When mediation is a good choice

·         When supervised visitation might be ordered

·         How child support is determined (and how to request an increase)

·         Your options if your spouse is not paying court-ordered child support

Mr. McDonald will also answer audience questions on custody and support issues. Anyone with questions may contact Marti Smith, Community Education Program Director, at (336) 275-6090.
