We had a perfect evening for celebrating entrepreneurship and summer in our beloved Merrimack Valley yesterday. The EforAll Summer 2016 Kickoff at the Greater Lawrence Community Boathouse. There was good food and good company and lots and lots of networking.

The boat rides on the river were very popular. The boat could accommodate 10 at a time. Everybody wore life jackets.

The kids took advantage of the volleyball net for both volleyball and some game I'd never seen before involving getting a football over the net.

I couldn't get a photo of the bubble machine, but I did get the temporary tattoo guy to pose for me.
