LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Summer is coming to a close and we have so much to look forward to this fall in Richardson! The Huffhines Harvest Fest and Pawtoberfest, a wonderful RSO season, Network’s Fork Off Event…a mix of cultural, philanthropic and family-oriented fun awaits.
We love Richardson and are committed to being one of the reasons it’s such a great place to live. And whereas our last issue was devoted to the city’s many food-related offerings, we are calling this one HOME.
Our Movers and Shakers, Monica and Glenn Scott, have called Richardson home for decades and give so much to the fabric of the community through their charitable efforts and Monica’s business, Logotology. They even kept the community in mind when building their house so that it would be an entertaining space for friends, family and the many organizations with which they are involved.
RISD Superintendent Tabitha Branum sits down with us to discuss the upcoming school year and we spotlight the 2024 Richardson Real Heroes, Debbie Conard and Sandy Lauder, who have tirelessly dedicated their time and energy to volunteerism.
Speaking of community, our neighbors at UTD are providing an on-campus home to thousands of students. And have you discovered the Springhill Retreat Center, a hidden gem in the heart of Richardson? You can read about it in these pages.
More than anything, we want to help you find inspiration in these pages for continuing to call Richardson home. You’ll learn about biophilic design, mee t the founders of Koko&Chantelle, Richardson-based lifestyle influencers, and discover two women – one a landscape design expert and the other an interior designer – who are making Richardson beautiful.

Monica & Glenn Scott
By Patti Otte
Berkner High School’s 2012 reunion set the stage for Monica and Glenn Scott, former high school friends, to fall in love and subsequently marry, a lucky “reunion” which has resulted in the power couple’s positive, lasting influence on the city they call home.
DEEP TIES TO RICHARDSON
Monica’s desire to make Richardson her permanent home is thanks in large part to her parents, Bob and Jean Macy, who’ve been actively involved in Richardson’s civic and philanthropic community for years. Says Monica, “It’s hard to get through a conversation with anyone in the city without my wonderful parents coming up as they were always so involved.” From volunteering at their church, FUMCR, to serving in city government and charitable roles, the Macys set an outstanding example of giving back. “Dad encouraged me for years to go through Leadership Richardson and, once I did, I totally got the value of serving and learned the best places for me to give back,” states Monica….
