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'!!

Beta, entertained the group while awaiting our drinks,with the jokes of the day.

We were also given an update by Jon on his future plans in the Community.
Sadly, he and Nancy are returning to Calgary where they will be with Family.
This will be Jon's last Romeo lunch before he heads west on the long road trip.
All of us wish him and Nancy the very best.

It was also confirmed that our next Romeo Lunch, December 13, 2012, will be a 
joint co-ed Christmas lunch to be held jointly with the Romeos and Juliets at 
the Stratford Festival Inn. Seating will be arranged in the Solarium Room.

The Committee looks forward to hosting this special seasonal event.
