Our September Community Happy Hour at Elation Brewing was a fantastic success! CPRV neighbors enjoyed lively conversation, delicious pizza, and local brews, making new connections and celebrating a great local business.
On September 6th, the Colonial Place Riverview (CPRV) Civic League held its first-ever community yard sale, with over 27 residents participating. The event not only helped neighbors clear out their attics, but also raised much-needed funds for the civic league and sparked a welcome increase in membership.
