Paul Sutherland, Steps to HOPE board of directors president, presented the Second Wind Hall of Fame designation to Helen Gilbert at a recent board of directors meeting.

Gilbert has been an active board member and fundraiser for Steps to HOPE for many years. She also formed the Foxy Ladies Luncheon Club – a group of ladies who get together six times a year for lunch. These ladies have raised money through various projects for Steps to HOPE, Hospice and Relay for Life.
Gilbert was co-chairman for the 2011 Home Tour for the Green Blades Garden Club and helps with the harvest festival for the Congregational Church in Tryon.
The Second Wind Hall of Fame recognizes those who have contributed their time and talents to at least three organizations after retirement.
