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 & Juliet Luncheon, December 29, 2011

Hail Romeos,




As the last luncheon for 2011, we were privileged to be accompanied by 
our Juliets to Kennedy's Pub in St. Agatha.

In all, there were 9 couples less 1 who answered the call. Unfortunately, a few 
were not able to join us because of prior commitments at this busy time 
of the year.





Our Beta member, Ron Lewis, opened the lunch by reviewing the critical 
words that are used by wives during 'dialogues' with their spouses, with 
the warning that the true meaning of certain words is quite different and 
must be observed at all times or we could risk the wrath that will follow.

Ron also explained the rules that all our members must observe. No Rules.





Attending was Wray Krompart, a new member who was inducted into the 
Chapter by his sponsor, George Heath.

The other inductee who was called away at the last minute, Jon Knight, 
will be presented with his certificate by Jack Davies, who is his sponsor,
at a later time.

As requested by the Committee, a suitable decorum was observed by 
our ladies; however the Romeos had no objection to table dancing by the same.
This was a challenge, that some of the ladies accepted, and in due course 
the Romeos were entertained by Lyn, Elaine and Marilyn. 
It can be said that no monies changed hands. 
It might also be added that no Romeo in the room could even think of 
matching this accomplishment. 
It's doubtful they have the energy but certainly they don't have the body.

Book 'em John!!!Use the hand cuffs!


Well done ladies!!!

Afterwards, all agreed that this special lunch at year end with the Juliets, 
was a success, and should be repeated in future years.
