Rockwall County Helping Hands liken the legacy of Margo Nielsen to a quote from Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Clearly, the spirit of Helping Hands today is a reflection of Nielsen’s giving of herself.

Past and present Boards of Directors, volunteers and staff invite the community to join them in honoring the retiring Executive Director during a “Magic of Margo” event Jan. 24 at the Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront. The retirement party will reflect on the evolution of the agency under Margo’s direction, recalling the challenges and joys of leading RCHH since the early 1990s. Longtime friends of RCHH will share remembrances of Nielsen and her impact on the community. The celebration will not only mark Margo’s 25^th anniversary with Helping Hands, but also her 70^th birthday.

“It will be an opportunity to recognize Margo’s many accomplishments in Rockwall County as well everything she’s accomplished as Executive Director of Helping Hands. As a community, this is our chance to honor her, applaud her work, and show her our gratitude,” said Heath Mayor Lorne Liechty, Chairman of the Board of Helping Hands.
