EVENT RECAP: Holiday Food Drive
To all the phenomenal neighbors of CPRV who generously supported the CPRV Holiday Food Drive, the Social Events Committee and the Civic League Board extend a huge, hearty Thank You!
Happy New Year, y’all! As we look forward to the new year, let’s take a few moments to reflect on what the Civic League accomplished in 2022. Many thanks to everyone who helped make our neighborhoods a better place and to those who are committed to improving our community.
The social Events Committee brought many events to our community:
Media Committee:
Neighborhood Beautification Committee:
I want to especially thank the volunteers who have helped in so many ways in the neighborhoods. I especially want to recognize a few long-time volunteers who stepped down from committee rolls in 2022.
All of these positions are crucial in providing critical information to the residents of our neighborhoods, and I thank you for your service.
We look forward to continued success in 2023. One of our big initiatives is to keep neighbors better informed and connected through digital means, including revamping our social media presence, improving our website with up-to-date information and resources, and digitizing our monthly newsletter. Additionally, sharing our community with Knitting Mill Creek, East Haven Creek, and the Lafayette River makes Colonial Place and Riverview really special. Be on the lookout for opportunities to be involved in improving our relationship with the environment. Lastly, the Civic League does not exist without community involvement, and we want the Civic League to empower residents to make an impact. If you have an idea for improving our community, the Civic League would love to support you! Please contact Laura Burns at president@cprv.net.
We look forward to a great 2023!

Ramin Fatehi, the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney, delivered a comprehensive update on national crime trends and the macro factors influencing them. He also highlighted our local deviations from these national trends, providing valuable insights into the successes of the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office in 2023 and sharing upcoming initiatives for 2024. Following Ramin’s engaging presentation, a brief Q&A session allowed for further discussion. Watch the entire meeting below.
Porchella is a free, neighborhood jam that will take place in Colonial Place this year, Dec. 30 from 6-9pm. Neighbors offer up their porches to musicians for 30 min concerts by musicians of all types that offer up their talent! It’s basically reverse caroling. 🙂 Bring cash to tip your musicians as they are donating their time and skills! We will also have Venmo QR codes on the porches to make it easier to tip!
