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.

Back To School Safety
Schools all around the Triad start back this week. The school systems in Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, and Statesville all are ready for school to start! Please join our Lewis & Daggett team in reviewing a few safety tips for this new school year.
First, let’s all be aware that traffic will be a little heavier this week. We all need to pay a little closer attention and use our very best driving skills to avoid an accident. Please be sure to be particularly careful around school busses.

This past week Lewis & Daggett was proud to sponsor the Annual Rusty Harpe Memorial 200 and to honor the memory of Rusty Harpe again this year. Soon after an accident that took the life of his son, Chip Harpe, along with his wife Lynne and many family friends, set out to organize a race to commemorate the life of Rusty.

Exams are over. Books have been turned in. Summer’s here. In a few months — high school. It will be a new world and one perhaps with many added pressures, the most prevalent being peer pressure.

Honor
Memorial Day is a day to honor our heroes. Please take some time to honor our veterans and service women and men this Memorial Day. The fight for our freedom is the highest level of honor.
Boy Scout Troop 715
Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of summer. The weather takes a turn for the better, the days are longer and the nights more mild. The reason Memorial Day is a national holiday, however, isn’t for America’s leisure - it’s to honor the men and women who died while serving our country.

Decisions and Choices
Do we consider the impact of our daily decisions and choices on our long-term success? Part of the goal of our Safe Sober Prom Night program is to encourage our young people to make positive decisions and choices in their daily lives.
Certainly a large part of the Safe Sober Prom Night program is to make students aware of the dangers of drugs and alcohol, particularly when driving or riding in a motor vehicle.
