I joined the Newburyport Lions Club last night so I could thank Bob LaFrance for five decades of service to this community. This group does an incredible amount of service work--supplying the food pantries, serving the Salvation Army community dinners, hosting the annual Yankee Homecoming road race and bed race. And that's before they get to their core mission of serving the visually impaired.

45 Years of Service... and They Still Know How to Race! 🛵🏁🦁

After 45 years of helping make the Newburyport Lions Yankee Homecoming Road Race a success, these two Lions have certainly earned a victory lap!

Planning for the race begins in January, and after months of preparation, followed by two very long days of setup and race-day activities, Bob and Don decided it was time for a little celebration. As runners crossed the finish line, these two traded running shoes for scooters and had their own friendly race across the field! 😄

Their laughter reminded us that volunteering isn't just about hard work—it's about friendships, traditions, and having fun together after another successful event.

Thank you, Bob and Don, for 45 years of dedication, countless volunteer hours, and for proving that the finish line isn't just for runners!

Here's to another amazing year of serving our community... and maybe an official scooter division next year! 🛵🏆💙💛
