September in CPRV brings community cleanups, new local businesses, neighborhood updates, upcoming events, and plenty to celebrate!

A dedicated group of 12 volunteers came together to help beautify our neighborhood, removing an impressive 12 bags of litter from the Mayflower path all the way to Delaware Avenue, including litter along the water.

Thank you to our CPRV neighbors for supporting our Back-to-School Supply Drive for James Monroe Elementary School. The drive was a joint effort of the CPRV Social and Community Improvement Committees.

Exciting progress is underway along the Mayflower path as CPRV continues its efforts to restore and enhance this important natural area.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our August Colonial Place & Riverview Civic League meeting! We covered a full slate of neighborhood updates, upcoming events, and community improvement projects.

Inside this month’s issue, you will find details on our School Supplies Drive for James Monroe Elementary, the proposed 2026–2027 budget, July’s member event recap, board and committee updates, a welcome to Mary Batterson Stewart and Wes Stewart, Dockside Social news, Flower of the Month, Sips recipes, coloring pages, neighborhood news, and more.
