Thanksgiving Traditions 

       What Thanksgiving traditions are important to you and your family? This past week we discussed some of the Thanksgiving traditions of members of our Lewis & Daggett team and their families, and thought we would share some of them with you.

      First, let’s remember to have a safe Thanksgiving. We previously discussed some tips at Giving Thanks Safely. Of course, we also need to remember to be thankful, which we previously reviewed in Are We Thankful?

Veteran Appreciation

      Have you taken time to thank a veteran? Veterans Day seemed to sort of slipped by this year. We probably tend to take for granted the sacrifices of our living veterans who served honorably so that we all can be free.

An 87 Year-Old Veteran with First Graders

      Maybe we can all learn along with the first graders. Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day which was to commemorate the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1954, after World War II, it was changed to Veterans Day to honor veterans of all wars. It is a day to honor and thank all of those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

Work, Home And Holiday Fire Safety 

       Fire safety is a topic that should be discussed and reviewed regularly at work and in our homes. Last week our Lewis & Daggett team had a fire safety presentation by officers from the local station, complete with their fire truck!

      First, local firefighters are more than accommodating to help us all learn more about fire safety. They gladly welcome us to the station to learn fire safety for our homes and family. They particularly enjoy having children visit so they can show off their equipment, fire pole, and fire trucks.

       We were fortunate to have Captain Rick Jarvis, Fire Technician Rusty Walser, and Fire Engineer　Chris Belcher make a presentation on safety at our office. Since they were on duty at the time, they showed up with the fire truck which was exciting even for a group of adults.

Good Nutrition Month

        November is Good Nutrition Month! Perhaps immediately following Halloween and heading into the holidays is a good time to brush up on our nutrition. Please join our Lewis & Daggett Team as we work on our nutrition.

    Nutrition and physical activity are two keys to improved health. We hope to offer some simple tips in addition to what we previously discussed in Healthy Nutrition. Drink lots of water and limit sugared drinks. Eat lot of vegetables and grains instead of fried or fatty foods. Enjoy dairy products, but choose low fat or non-fat....
