TGILastdayofschoolFriday! This weeks quote. “The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.” Coach Vince Lombardi

As we congratulate the Class of 2016 and look forward to the official beginning of summer, lets all make a pact to make this summer the best ever. If you’ve been planning that special trip, take it. Thinking of reading the newest best seller, read it. Enjoying a great concert, book it. Eating at the trendiest restaurant (I mean Lynch’s, of course, lol) then go. Life is too short to spend wishing and dreaming about what we might have done. To the parents of the Class of 2016 their feelings right now I’m sure are “where did the time go?” And the answer is always the same. Time moves on. Time doesn’t wait for the next best thing to come along. So let this be the summer to remember. And along the way lets teach others about the humanity we have inside of us. Let’s help others! It could be something as insignificant as a smile to someone who needs it, holding the door for the next person coming in behind you, or letting Lynch’s know who needs a break, a night out, so we can send them a free certificate for their family to come and enjoy our food and just get a night out. It’s the little gestures that make life special and there is no greater joy than helping others.

Tonight we have a special dine to donate for Lynch’s Serves, Inc. Tonight we expand our program to help even more people. When my Dad was in the hospital the restaurant would send him dinner every day. I don’t know if it helped him heal but I do know that it broke up the monotony of the hospital stay. So Lynch’s Serves will now provide a free meal to those who are in a hospital or homebound. If you are going to the hospital just let us know what your patient likes and whatever dietary restrictions there are. We will have the meal prepared for your pick up. Its another small way that Lynch’s serves the community. And as a special treat for coming in tonight, we have ‪#‎RoddyHarrington‬ and Sarah playing live music at 8pm! Always a treat and what better way to start summer!

Thank you for your loyal support. May God continue to bless each and every one of us. Have a great week.

TGIF. This weeks quote: “Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.” – Og Mandino

Og Mandino was an American author best known for his book “The Greatest Salesman in the World.” I take to heart many of Og’s sayings and in this time of graduations and moving up ceremonies I believe his ideas are worth noting. Always do your best. Even when you don’t want to. Even when no one else is watching. Even when you think it doesn’t matter. I try to instill in my co workers this ideal. I try to tell them the napkin is folded the way it is because it makes us different from the next place. I teach them to set the table the same because each guest deserves the same treatment. I teach them to understand while we serve food what we really do is serve the community. I know sometimes they look at me and think what an idiot I am. And they have no idea how right they are! But what I am hoping is that one day they will see that what I taught them was a way to a better life. That by doing their best, one day they will harvest their just rewards. Og always concluded his speeches by saying “if Og can do it, so can you.” Today I am saying to any graduates and friends who will listen is if I can do it, so can you. Believe in yourself. Have faith in God and in those who surround you. Find your passion and pursue it. Serve your community. And always do your best.

May God bless each and everyone of us. Have a great week.
