Ruth Beals Cup

The first annual Ruth Beals Cup Regatta was created in 2005 by club members Maryellen Ferring, Wendy Larson, and Marilyn Moyer-Ward and named after our Club founder, Ruth Beals. These women then expanded the event to include a social after the race. They were not just the visionaries of this regatta, but they also executed it.
