Neil collected several fines for a variety of trespasses.
Presentation: Neil introduced Ted Grace, Mark Bowder and Cliff Levitan. Mr. Grace is a long-time builder and founder of Builders of the Future, a program designed back in the 1990’s to promote high school student interest in pursuing the building trades as a career. Over the many years, the organization has evolved into where it is today, having a presence in 23 metro area high schools and includes over 500 students who are learning about the building trades through hands-on projects. Several area builders and other professionals in the building industry give of their time and talents to further the outreach of this worthy cause. The organization raises money to support this program and provides numerous scholarships for students who enroll into trade school after high school.
