The Riverbank City Council and LRA Regular Meeting held on March 12, 2024, featured a notable community announcement regarding the upcoming "Love Riverbank" event. Reverend Randy Richardson addressed the council, highlighting that the event is scheduled for April 27, 2024, and encourages community participation.
