A Pink Evening

      Saturday night was a special night at Ernie Shore Field for the Winston-Salem Warthogs and our community. It was "Pink in the Park" night,  a benefit for breast cancer research, and a celebration of    breast cancer survivors.

      Our Lewis and Daggett team had a large contingent in attendance, and we were a corporate sponsor of the event. A night at the ballpark is always a great time for family fun. Our group had a great time, and it appeared that everyone else did too.

Never Give Up

      Wow! The Olympic Games have been spectacular - and we are only half way through! It seems everyone is watching and talking about the events. Perhaps we all "participate" in our own way. And, there are metaphoric lessons for all of us.

      Did you watch or read about the men’s 4 x 100 freestyle rely? How do we respond when the chips are down? Do we keep going or do simply give in.

        Jason Lezak gave us something to remember. To set the stage, he was swimming the anchor leg of the relay and was a body length behind when he started. The French team had the lead and had their former wor ...

Always Finish!

     The Olympics are here and have started. We always enjoy watching the Olympics. Moreover, there are always lessons that we learn.

     With the games starting this past weekend I was reminded of an incredible story of "Finishing." Derek Redmond injured his hamstring during a heat for the 400-meter race in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. His father helped him from the ground then went on to help his son finish the race. He came in dead last, but he showed to all of us that finishing is important.

     When Derek's father reached his side, he said "I'm here, son, we'll finish together." In an interview after the race, Derek said ...

Buckle Up

     Please help us keep our children, families and friends safe. Failure to wear safety belts is a greater contributing factor in deaths than any other safety related behavior in our lives.

     In North Carolina it is now the law that all passengers, both front and back seat, must wear seat belts. As part of our Safe Sober Prom Night program, we constantly remind our young people that the most dangerous thing they do is ride in a car, regar ...

Don’t Be Distracted

      "Distracted Driver Awareness Week" was held last month in an effort to educate motorists on safe driving. According to a report by the National Highway Safety Administration, about 80% of accidents are caused by driver inattention. The report also said that about 65% of all near-crashes involved some sort of driver inattention.

      Did You Know?

• 98% of Americans claim to be safe drivers
• 72% of all drivers admit to partaking in some form of distracting behavior while driving
• The most common "distracting behaviors" ...

Going Green

      It seems we are all looking for ways to save energy and help the environment. Although law firms don’t consume as large amounts of resources as some industries, at Lewis & Daggett we are continuing to try to do our part.

      Maybe you have seen part of our efforts around the Triad! Above is our L & D "Green" Errand Machine. We run a lot of errands and make a lot of public service and client convenience visits. Our hybrid vehicle saves on fuel, is fun, and helps remind others to try to be efficient.

      When we first looked into doing more toward ...

A Tribute

      This past week our Lewis & Daggett Team participated in a really special event. Wednesday evening was the 2^nd Annual Rusty Harpe Memorial Race at Caraway Speedway. It was an evening we will remember for a long time.

Independence Day

     July 4, 1776 was a day the changed the future of mankind. We tend to forget about that even on the annual 4^th of July celebration unless we stumble upon a reminder that reminds us just how important this date really is.

     Yesterday we heard a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence while attending the oldest 4^th of July celebration in the country, right here locally in Bethabara. The reenactment was clear illustration of the high privilege it is to live in the home of the brave and the land of the free.

     The impact of our Independence literally changed the course for indi ...

See and Be Seen

     Bicycling seems to be growing in popularity. It is a great form of recreation, fitness exercise and, with higher fuel prices, even transportation. This week we will focus on bicycles and bicycle safety.

     The increasing number of bicycle riders makes this a good time to review some safety tips - for drivers and riders. Motorists need to know that cyclists have the same rights on the road as they do. Likewise, cyclists have the same obligation to follow the traffic laws as motorists.

     First, please wear a helmet whenever riding a bicycle. It is now the law in North Carolina that helmets are required for riders und ...
