Sigourney Street resident Vicki Richardson has been chosen as Revere’s ‘Unsung Heroine of 2007′ by the state Commission on the Status of Women.
Richardson’s nomination and award were kept a secret until just last week, when there was a surprise party for her at the RevereCARES office on Ocean Avenue.
Besides working full-time in Boston and taking care of her husband, Warren, Richardson is very active around town as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, a ComCast public access volunteer and a number of charity endeavors too long to list here. She is certainly the best choice for the award.
A formal ceremony at the State House will be Wednesday, May 16th to honor all of the recipients statewide.
Revere's Mayor, Tom Ambrosino and Vicki
