The newest Thermal Belt volunteer to be inducted into the Second Wind Hall of Fame is Fran Cartier Creasy. Rev. Leslie Bush presented the certificate to Creasy in a ceremony at the Tryon Presbyterian Church following the regular service. Her church welcomed the opportunity to sponsor Creasy for her years of volunteer efforts in the Christian programs, in the choir, and for her musical performances. In addition, Creasy’s other volunteer activities have included The Foothills Music Club, the Community Chorus and the Laurel Lake Music Society at Tryon Estates.

The certificate read by Rev. Bush states, in part, that Creasy “has been elected to the Second Wind Hall of Fame because of a long, useful and productive life, continuing beyond retirement while others paused to rest. This person caught a Second Wind and began a new career of service to mankind.” Her election will be celebrated by many of the 180 other current volunteers, previously elected, who will attend the annual banquet meeting to be held on Sept. 20.
