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, November 17, 2011

Welcome back to the Boar's Head Inn in Stratford.

The Committee selected this venue 'in camera' and consequently 3 members
of the selection Committee tendered their resignation because they claimed
that vote tallying and opaqueness were wanting.

The remaining members( all abstainers ) will continue to abstain and make the
selection process run more smoothly in the future.

A total of 8 members attended the lunch and are were amply rewarded with
great meals and drink.
Deserts were unique and tasty for those who ordered.

It was good to see Ron Laitar attend after his cruise to Hawaii.

A new member in Brian Olson was inducted into the Order by John Fenwick.
Brian accepted the diploma under the quasi name of Phi. Welcome Brian.

A good lunch for all.
