How To Assign A Value From A C# Static Method To A Label

I have the following static function in c#

public static string Greet(string name)
{
string greeting = "welcome ";
// is it possible to pass this value to a label outside this static method?
string concat = string.Concat(greeting, name);
//error
Label1.text = concat;
//I want to return only the name
return name;
}

As you can see in the comments, I want to retain only the name as the return value, however I want to be able to take out the value of the concat variable to asign it to a label, but when i try the compiler refuses, can it be done? Is there a work around?
