Frontrunners
Last year we had excellent participation and with some new blood this year we should do better.  As many of you know this is a great venue and with the new facilities nearing completion I am sure this could be one of the best events yet.

Judy Buis on

Leukemia Cup
For the second year in a row, at the Leukemia and Lymphoma's National Leadership conference in Denver, Colorado, the Southern Bay Leukemia Cup Regatta, was named as one of the top six regattas in the country.

I was fortunate enough to be attending this conference and accept this award. There are 47 Regattas around the country. The Regattas are put in six regions, and the best Regatta in each region gets the award. We were competing with some very LARGE Yacht clubs!!!
