LION’S HEART
Kindness Citation K911-01748

One thing you wouldn’t expect seeing on the Vancouver Waterfront is Rally the Raptor out for a stroll! However, one thing you can find at the east end of the path is Renaissance Pointe. This once-overlooked stretch is now a place to pause, reflect, and connect because someone asked, “Why does the trail just end like this?”

Renaissance Pointe was created in CCSO Sgt. Jeremy R. Brown’s (EOW: 7/23/21) honor. This was his favorite stretch of the river… his and Jill’s spot. When we lost Jeremy the LE community was there for Jill and still is! Reciprocally, Jill is there for all of them. Whether it’s visits to the academy, hosting events or representing at Washington DC’s Police Week, Jill is caring right back with the heart of a lion 💙.

It was Kindness 911, the Ridgefield Raptors and Riverview Banks true honor to issue Jill a long overdue Kindness Citation. Thank you for the tour of this very special place in our community. Keep impacting your community one kind act at a time!

How are banks evolving to meet our needs as we age? 🏦👵👴

The ABA Foundation is hosting a webinar on June 3, 2026, to share results from the CFPB’s latest National Age-Friendly Banking Survey. It’s a look at how our banking experiences—from fraud protection to financial caregiving—are changing across generations.

If you're a banker looking to better support your older customers (and those who care for them), this is a must-attend!
