This coming Thursday, August 5th is the date for the 4th Annual BaldBil Scotch & Cigar's Night. It will be hosted by my good friend Clayton Green. Clayton is a member of the Salem YMCA Board of Directors and is gracious enough to allow me to use his expansive back yard for this event. We will have a fine selection of blended and single-malt Scotch whiskies for guests to sample provided by Quality Liquors of Salem and Kappy's of Peabody. Mike Allen of the Red Lion Smoke Shop on Washington Street in Salem is providing the cigars. Mike will also speak briefly on his choice of cigars and will answer any questions you may have. He has traveled to the source on a few occasions and and has an extensive body of knowledge on the subject. Last year he explained why some cigars are somewhat square in shape. Clayton will prepare some caribbean cuisine. He makes a great hot sauce that is both spicy and full of flavor.
Of the two YMCA fundraisers that I hold each year this is my favorite. You are guaranteed to meet a great and interesting group of local characters and raconteurs.
The Salem YMCA provides many opportunities for the kid's of our fair city to participate in educational and productive activities which assist them in their attempts to become good honest members of society. I have had the pleasure and privilege to see and experience this first hand. Their is no cause closer to my heart than this one. Their services range from pre-school and day care to teen programs. We all at one time or another in our lives have been a part of the problem, this is a small chance for you and I to be a part of the solution.
I look forward to seeing old friends and to meeting some new friends at this event as we sit and socialize with Clayton for a great and worthwhile cause.
See you there!
