Founded in 1979 by a group of local businessmen led by Abe Bashara of Bishop's Restaurant, the Greater Lawrence Community Boating Program was created to provide boating education, recreation, and a positive summer experience for all youth and adults in the Merrimack Valley. With just six boats, a tent, and a used dock, these businessmen set out to do just that.
