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, December 15, 2011

The Romeos went to a new restaurant that has just opened in New 
Hamburg called 'My Place, the Restaurant' run by a husband and wife.
Before opening, they updated the ambiance from a sport's bar 
to a cosy eatery.

Our only hesitation was the fact that you have to climb a number 
of steps to the second floor and we discussed this with some 
members who might have trouble. 
Fortunately, all members were able to negotiate the steps.

We were warmly greeted by the owner who took our drink orders.
There were 9 of us at a grouping of tables with ample room to socialize.


Very soon after 12:00 noon various customers entered and soon most 
of the tables were taken.


The menu was quite extensive with a breakfast serving until 2:00pm,
as well as the normal fare and of course the Greek dishes. Our orders 
were taken and the food arrived in good time and all members were 
satisfied that they had a new restaurant to visit near home.


It was suggested that since the next outing would be December 29, 2011, 
we might consider inviting our partners to join us in the spirit of Christmas. 


All in all, we will return when the occasion permits.
