Smart Decisions Year Round 

     Our students are making smart decisions year round! Our Lewis & Daggett team spent some time with a group of local high school students last week as part of our fall Safe Sober Prom Night efforts. Wow, are they impressive!

     As impressive as our students are, we are also starkly reminded of the need for continuing, including year round, encouragement and support.

A Great Loss

       Losses in our communities hurt us all. We feel the pain collectively and individually. Last week our whole State of North Carolina, and beyond, hurt with the tragic loss of Elena Shapiro.

Elena Bright Shapiro

November 14, 1988 – September 11, 2009 

        Elena grew up in our community and was perhaps best known as a dancer.  She was talented, hard working, and beautiful.  Elena graced the stages of our Triad area and beyond for many years, even though she was so young. Most recently, she was sharing her grace and talent with an expanded audience through the Carolina Ballet.

A Servant Heart

     This past weekend at a church synod conference the term "servant heart" was used. We are fortunate to live in a community where so many people have "a servant heart." Service to our clients and the community is part of our culture at Lewis & Daggett.

     Even during these difficult economic times our communities tend to come together. Interestingly, some charitable organizations and agencies are actually reporting that they are doing well. Several are even on the increase! That is a tribute to all of us.

Importance of Water           

        Our Lewis & Daggett team has consciously focused our combined efforts to protect our environment. Perhaps the most important component of our environment is water. Water is essential for our existence and our health.

       Water is vital to the proper functioning of the human body and true health cannot occur without proper hydration.
