Animal Activist Nominated for FEOY

North Lauderdale Manager Rose Mesenger-Mannisto nominated Letter Carrier John Neal for recognition in the "Federal Employee of the Year" Awards Program.


John Neal is a dedicated letter carrier who works in Atlantic, Margate, and North Lauderdale Post Offices.  He is able to adjust to what sometimes can be very challenging schedule with different hours and days off.  John is capable of running every operation in the mail delivery field.  His peers respect him for his willingness to always assist when needed.  He is a true professional.


John is an animal activist who has rescued and saved 50 lost dogs and cats in  2011.  He finds their rightful owner and returned them to the individual or gets them adopted to new homes.


John and his wife are volunteers with the Girl Scouts of America.  They manage two troops for a total of 29 girls.  The City of West Hollywood had approached John about taking on the second troop through a grant for girls from low-income families.  This grant pays for the girls' dues and their activities, including camping and field trips.  


In addition to the Girl Scounts, John also has volunteered five days a week for the girls' softball team at McArthur High School in Hollywood where his 15-year old daughter is a star player.


He also takes excellent care of his father who has been struck with Alzheimer's.  He sits with his Dad every evening in an assisted living facility.
