🎶 This month's Riverview Presents featured Dr. Paul Grove! 🎸

Kay Brightman began the show by announcing that Riverview Presents is doing great financially thanks to many generous donors, and has various programs lined up for each month through August! Kay also announced that she will be passing the torch of managing Riverview Presents over to Dee Morton, who is more than qualified to handle the task due to her extensive background in music, group management, and volunteering.

Dee's first task was introducing guitarist Dr. Paul Grove! Paul played several different pieces for us from North and South America, including "the Entertainer" by Scott Joplin, which most of us know as the song that the Icecream Trucks play! Check out these pictures and videos from the performance to see more. And thank you to Dr. Grove and his wife for joining us here at Riverview!

Here are some photos and videos from our New Year’s Eve celebrations! 🎉

We kicked things off with a party in the Terrace Rec Room, where residents enjoyed nachos, snacks, and champagne. The evening ended with a special toast from Chaplain Yvette, who shared a few kind words to welcome the new year. 🥂

Afterwards, Village residents kept the celebration going in the Community Building with more games and a potluck. They stayed up late to watch the ball drop and count down to 2026 together! 🎆

Today marked the first day of training for our guests: the Spokane Fire Department! 🚒

They are utilizing our decommissioned Care Center as a commercial building, which was used today for Search and Rescue training in the dark, smoky corridors before demolition starts. No actual fire will be used during these training drills! It is simply a unique opportunity for the fire department to use such a large building for training, as they do not get the opportunity to use buildings like this very often.

For more information, here is a snippet and link to the rest of our press release on the Riverview website:

"Riverview Retirement Community announced that it will begin preparations for a new independent Senior Living apartment complex, marking an exciting new chapter in the organization’s continued commitment to serving Spokane-area seniors. As part of the site preparation, the existing building – constructed in 1959 – will be decommissioned and demolished ahead of the new construction scheduled to begin in Spring 2026.

In exploring meaningful ways to utilize the building before demolition, Riverview Retirement Community’s Chief Operating Officer, Mike Schleigh, reached out to the Spokane Fire Department (SFD) to offer the space as a training ground for Commercial Fireground Operations. The SFD Training Captain and team welcomed the opportunity and expressed appreciation for the unique training environment!"

🎶 Last week, we welcomed Gonzaga's Big Bing Theory a ca****la group to Riverview! 🎵

The student-led a ca****la band was introduced by Riverview resident Kay Brightman, who coordinates all the monthly performances through Riverview Presents. They treated us to several renditions of popular songs by artists such as Dua Lipa, Pentatonix, and Taylor Swift, along with a few classics by Bing Crosby. The band wrapped things up with some festive Christmas songs to get us all in the holiday spirit! 🎄

Between songs, the group kept us laughing with jokes and light-hearted introductions, making the performance as entertaining as it was impressive. ✨

Thank you to Big Bing Theory for sharing your talent and helping make this season even more joyful for our residents. And thank you to Gonzaga University for fostering such a wonderful environment where students like these can thrive!

🎟️Last week, we pulled the names for the Riverview Resident Assistance Foundation's Raffle winners! 🎟️

Congratulations to our three winners Anne, Bruce, and Ken! 🎉

The Resident Assistance Foundation was established to support residents in need, helping them to continue living in our friendly community if they ever find themselves in financial hardship or who have exhausted their financial resources. This raffle offered tickets for each $100 donation in order to raise funds for the RRAF, and in turn, three winners were chosen to win a $2,000 credit to their account for their monthly fees!

The RRAF was able to raise $5,000, with another matched $5,000 to make a total of $10,000 to the foundation! Thank you to everyone who donated, bought tickets, and spread the word for this successful fundraiser! 💙💚🧡
