Richardson Real Heroes Chosen for Exceptional, Unsung Community Efforts
Richardson Real Heroes has chosen three volunteers to recognize this year for their unselfish and unheralded work to improve the lives of Richardson residents. These volunteers will be recognized with a public ceremony and reception on April 11 at 7 p.m. at the Richardson Civic Center.
The honorees and the organizations for which they volunteer:
Dick Caplinger, Richardson Police Department
Penny Carter, NETWORK of Community Ministries
Stuart Rampy, Robotics Club at J.J. Pearce High School
These three were chosen from nominations made by residents and nonprofit organizations of all types serving our community. “All of the nominees were worthy of being recognized,” said Laurie Garvie, chair of the Real Heroes committee. “The Real Heroes committee chose this group for their extraordinary and longstanding service, with little public recognition.”

Friends and coworkers of the Real Heroes are encouraged to leave personal comments and anecdotes about the Real Heroes here. Selections from the comments will be used for a keepsake memory book compiled for each Real Hero.
The event honoring the Real Heroes will have video highlights of each Real Hero and a program honoring volunteerism in the community. The keynote speaker will be Bruce MacPherson, managing director of the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and Corporate Presentations.
The event is free and open to the public. Join us in honoring these Richardson Real Heroes. Please RSVP by April 5 to richardsonrealhero@gmail.com.
