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 1, 2011





Once again the Romeos met at Jake and Humphreys in downtown New Hamburg.


A complement of 10 attended and I believe we were the only ones for lunch.


This was fine, since we had the whole bistro to ourselves and the rapt attention 
of the waitress, which meant fast service on the libations for which we appreciate.
The meals were presented to the members in good time and were presented well.


Ivan was in good spirits, since he had the second eye done on cataracts and could now see in colour. It's been so long that he thought coke was green?


Brian is not heading south till the end of the year.


Jack is still going for tests but is still persevering with his feet. Hold in there Jack!!


Ken Mulholland has just returned from his caucus in Turkey and happy to be home.


Ken Moorehead and Evelyn are looking forward to their upcoming vacation in 
the Dominican Republic.
Ken will once again be given the onerous task of rating the 'open adult' beaches. 
Such a problem!!


A good time was had by all and we look forward to our next outing.
