New Hamburg ROMEOS Calling: 08/01/2011

New Hamburg ROMEOS Calling

The original purpose of the group was to bring together new neighbours who had moved from other parts of the Province of Ontario and also from other Provinces of Canada to our community of New Hamburg.

Initially the group was only composed of men from one street of the community but it has expanded to other areas as the need required. Initially the ROMEOS were run as a unique and isolated entity because the members had not been exposed to or were aware of the Organization's history and development. It only adopted the ROMEO name when it was found and referenced in a novel read by a member's wife.

The founding members then proceeded to allocate 'call signs' to each new participant based upon the Greek alphabet, Alpha to Omega, and grant a scroll to the new members.

Presently, we have 20 members as of January 1, 2013. This reflects a fluctuation of new and removed members from our inception. We may have to find a new alphabet very soon to maintain newer 'call signs'!!

Romeo Luncheon, August 25, 2011

Welcome Fellow Romeos,

It has been determined by your Committee that we will host our bi-weekly
lunch at the Dominion House Bar and Grill at 3 Guelph Street in Stratford.

As this will be our first experience at this place of intrigue, you will be required
to follow the 'buddy system' while on the premises. A head count will be
necessary upon entering and especially leaving.

The biggest problem to this establishment was to find the entry door.

Once inside we were welcomed by Riley who would serve us. Nice server for a guy.

Not too busy on Thursday for lunch.

This pub was established in 1865 and was a forerunner for food and
accommodation beside the rail line terminuses of the day.

George Barry

Ray Ron

Dennis Carl

All in all this was a good place to meet with the Romeos

Romeo Luncheon, August , 11, 2011

Welcome to our Romeo Luncheon,

Our meeting for lunch this Thursday will convene at The Annex Cafe
which is in the Festival Town of Stratford.

This will be the second week of the Music Festival which runs for five more.

Hopefully you have attended some of the great programmes to date from
countries outside Canada as well as our own talented musicians.

A first time visit to this new venue will be interesting to see the menu and ambiance.

With new members joining our group, the Committee has prepared diplomas
that will be presented to them by their sponsors.

Barry Squires who recently returned from Texas, will be given the call name 'Sigma'.

Ron Lewis, who is long over-due his diploma and as the co-founding member
of the Chapter will officially be given the call name 'Beta'.

In Good Fellowship and Cheer,

Romeo Chapter of New Hamburg
