Our November Civic League meeting brought together more than 30 neighbors at Kingdom Embassy Ministries for an evening of community updates, celebration, and connection. From welcoming new attendees and electing Riverview’s new representative, Terry Reading, to hearing from Brian N. Friedman on the future of Lambert’s Point Park, the night was filled with great energy and momentum. Residents also heard updates on neighborhood safety, upcoming social events, and exciting initiatives like the Pets of CPRV 2026 Calendar and Elizabeth River Project Shoreline Planting. As the holidays approach, CPRV continues to grow in both spirit and participation—thank you to everyone who helps make this neighborhood thrive!
