In 2011 at Tri-State Family Services we served 106 new clients and 1,115 repeat clients for a total of 1,220 client visits. We taught 160 classes. Thirteen clients took five parenting classes each to earn new baby beds and mattresses.
In June of 2010, our prayers for a house manager for Chrysalis Shepherding Home were answered when Chelsie Lotz was hired after she graduated from college. Since then, several residents have come, received the help they needed, and moved on. Currently there are four residents, two of whom have a child with them, a six-year-old boy and a eight-year-old girl..
In June of 2011, Chelsie Lotz married Brandon Bliss, son of Brian and Sherry Bliss. Sherry is the executive director of Chrysalis Shepherding Home and Tri-State Family Services.
Chelsie and Brandon are living at Chrysalis where Chelsie continues to be the House Manager.
