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 Lunch, December 13, 2012






Greetings to All


This is a reminder to all Romeos that this coming Thursday, December 13, 2012,
will be our 2nd Annual Christmas Lunch where we will be joined by our partners.

A reservation has been made for the Stratford Festival Restaurant, where if space
permits, we will be seated in the Solarium Room on the lower level of the Anne
Hathaway Room.

At last count, it was expected that a possible 28 Romeos and Juliets could attend,
and the Committee suggests that we all arrange our own carpool to be at the restaurant
by 12 noon.

The meeting started with Alpha welcoming the Juliets who were then toasted by the Romeos.
This was then followed by Beta entertaining the group with appropriate jokes of the day which were received with gusto.
The last speaker was Gamma who thanked the Committee for their work in organizing the biweekly luncheons.
All in all, it was a merry time that was had by all.
