Mayclim Basketball Invitational

Mayclim Basketball Invitational--The Croton-Harmon Booster Club is proud to host the Robert E. Mayclim Memorial Basketball Invitational, named after a Croton-Harmon Booster Club Legend! Robert “Bobby” Mayclim, aka “The Voice of Croton”. Bob was a dedicated Booster who served as the announcer of all the games in the 1980’s. Crowds were mesmerized by his professional level of commentary, amazing sense of humor, and incredible enthusiasm. His Tiger Spirit was contagious to all that knew him. Mr. Mayclim and his wife, Barbara were the proud parents of Scott, Dana, and Troy. Unfortunately, Bob left us too soon in July of 1986, but his never ending spirit and memories live on in his children and grandchildren. Through our annual Mayclim Memorial Invitational, we honor his memory and commitment to the Croton-Harmon Booster Club and our entire community.

The Mayclim Invitational will take place one day only this year, on Saturday, December 13th.

THE ANNUAL REQUEST---CHRISTMAS PUNCH, NOGS, ASSORTED LIBATIONS, ALCOHOLIC AND NON.....

By special request--CHRISTMAS PUNCH, NOGS, ASSORTED LIBATIONS, ALCOHOLIC AND NON.....CLICK ON THE PHOTOS AND INKS.

First up, from 1971, the very authentic--and quite warming to the soul---Athole Brose.  A neighbor,back in the day, of Welsh and Scot extraction, used to pull out his wife's crystal punch bowl every Christmas Eve and invite us all in for a taste.  Of course, the children were served appropriately RED Shirley Temples in those ubiquitous plastic Champagne glasses.

Complete with Maraschino Cherry.....and a Rosemary Sprig (which quite frankly, we tossed!)

But it made some of us feel very grown-up and festive.

Next up, from Family Christmas Online(TM), a recipe for Cappuccino Punch.

(A neighbor throws in a cup of Amaretto for the alcohol version,)
