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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Path Continues

     This past week has been busy and exciting all across the Triad. Our high school seniors celebrated graduation. We are proud of them and wish them the best in pursuing future successes.

     Of course, we want to congratulate these young people for completing one forward, positive step in the road of life. We personally met many of the graduating seniors over the past couple of months during our Safe Sober Prom Night program. We thank them for their participation, and are already preparing for the class ...

Memorial Day Encore

     Last Sunday at New Philadelphia Moravian Church we hosted a Memorial Day celebration to remember our military heros, and honor veterans and current service persons. As part of the evening we featured a flag folding ceremony.

     Boy Scouts from our Troop 715 presented the flag, and demonstrated the folding. They stopped at each fold for a reading of the meanings. The ceremony was quite dramatic. The meanings of each fold of the flag are poignant and relevant, and are probably n ...

Job Well Done

     Whew! It has been a fast and furious past eight weeks for Safe Sober Prom Night! There are many stories of teamwork, enthusiasm, participation, passion, and success!

     The students’ participation and enthusiasm make us optimistic about the future of our community. Our students are bright, talented, motivated, and really trying to do the right things for a successful future. They are well on their way!

Half Way

     Doesn't it always seem to feel really good to be half way done? Well, this past week at Lewis & Daggett we passed the half way mark with our 2008 Safe Sober Prom Night program.

     So far, so good. We have had no reports of prom night car accidents of other tragedies.

     Part of the fun of SSPN is our interaction with the students. So far this year we have reached approximately 10,128 juniors and seniors in the triad area, an increase ove ...

Success and The 25% Club

     Do you know someone who is successful? We sure do! We were lucky to have Coach Bob Anastas in town this past week as part of our Safe Sober Prom Night program.

     Coach Anastas is the national founder of Students Against Drunk Driving, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. He was an All-American in both hockey and football, and was drafted as a quarterback and punter by the Patriots. He has taught high school and college, and has coached hockey and ...
