Neil helps plan the Chautauqua Day Car Show, Graduation Car Parade, and supports The Sexsmith and Area Food bank on a regular basis to name a few. Neil’s passion and commitment to making our car shows successful have not gone unnoticed. From helping to organize the Chautauqua Day Car Show, to organizing the Graduation Parade for grads to ride in antique vehicles through the community. Neil brings enthusiasm and spirit that make each show special. Entry fees are always donated to the Sexsmith and Area Food Bank. Neil has a gift that he says he received from his mom, to help people in need”. His personal donations to The Sexsmith and Area Foodbank ensure that families in need receive meat, as well as non-perishable donations from his Car Shows. Volunteers like Neil are the heart of the community, and it is because of his community commitment that we are able to achieve so much.
The Town of Sexsmith is fortunate to have volunteers like Neil, and we are continually inspired by his generosity. The difference he makes in the lives of others is immeasurable, and we hope he knows how much he is appreciated.’
