18 Years!

     It’s finally here! This week the 2008 prom season begins. Our Lewis & Daggett team is excited for the 18^th year of our Safe Sober Prom Night Program.

     Mike Lewis and I founded SSPN in 1991. In what we do professionally we all too often see the destruction and tragedy done to children, families and individuals by drinking and driving. We believed that we were in a unique position in our community to address this issue, and so Safe Sober Prom Night wa ...

Lights, Camera, Action!

     Are you ready? Prom season is now just right around the corner. Lights, Camera, Action - it will be here. We are all excited and ready for this special time.

     This past week we really experienced "Lights, Camera, Action" with a group of students at Glenn High School. Glenn had the highest percentage of students take the Safe Sober Prom Night < ...

The Artist

     It is hard to believe that the time changed for spring this weekend, and prom season is right around the corner! Our Safe Sober Prom Night program is getting ready for its 18^th season. We of kicked things off this past week by announcing the winner of the T-shirt design contest.

     The annual T-shirt design competition is open to students at all high schools in North and South Carolina. We received many impressive designs from a number of schools in our area. The final decision proved to be quite difficult for the selection committee.

     The winner of the 2008 Safe Sober Prom Night T-shirt ...

Healthy Living Expo

     Last weekend our Lewis & Daggett team participated in the Healthy Living Expo at the Winston-Salem Convention Center. This is an annual event in town that brings out our large cross section of folks from our community.

     From the photo above you can see that members of our L & D team had a good time, and engaged a number of attendees in the fun of the event. As you know from our Values and Culture& ...

Ask More Questions

     Do you ever feel exuberant? Are you ready to jump right in and give answers? Perhaps it would serve us well to ask more questions. We are reminded of this at Lewis& Daggett every time we make a presentation at a school - the students love to ask questions!

Students naturally ask questions    

     First thing this morning, right after I got out of bed, my wife told me I was "exuberant!" Exuberant! I had not even gotten started yet… I hadn't had a workout, I hadn't begun working, I hadn't even gotten going and I was already exuberant. Perhaps ...

Resolutions

     Do you ever make resolutions for the New Year? Every year for the past 20 years or so I have done my annual "Resolution Ride" on my mountain bike. I leave home very early New Year’s morning so that I can sit on the little hill on the west bank of Salem Lake and watch the sun rise. I have been out in cold, snow, rain, and everything in between. The last couple of years have been cloudy and/or rainy, but this year was spectacular!

     We ...

   Our Future Looks Bright! 

    Youth are our future. At Lewis & Daggett we have focused for many years on youth initiatives, like Safe Sober Prom Night. We do this naturally out of our concerns for individuals. This is consistent with our L & D Team’s care and helping of people seriously injured, hurt at work, and disabled.

     So, to further this mission we spent some time this week with the After School Program at the West Forsyth YMCA ...

     HEROES

     Who are our heroes? We probably all have them. The truth is our real heroes are usually not superstars, but everyday people who affect us in everyday life. Perhaps we should spend more time focusing on the heroes who we see every day.

     Here at Lewis & Daggett I believe we have many heroes. I believe we have a team of people who truly care to help the folks who come to us at their times of greatest need. Quite frankly, I believe that quality is in all of our folks right up to the top with our leader, Mike Lewis.

     In actuality, many of our clients become our heroes. These people come to us when they ...
