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, July 11, 2013

Today the Romeos drove to the Nith Valley Chop House in Wellesley 
about 15 miles north from New Hamburg.

 The car pooling was made up of two cars for 7 members.

 We arrived after 11:30am and were met by a friendly young waitress 
who took our drink order to start.

 At this time we caught up on the news regarding the members who 
could not attend.
An update on John(Kappa) Matthews who had just gone through 
surgery was given by George(Upsilon). The operation was successful 
and we should see John soon.
As well, George's eye operation has gone well and he is on the road 
to recovery.

 Ron(Beta) Lewis shared a joke of the day with the group which was 
followed by Ken Edgar(Mu) and his contribution.

 The members, despite the slow service, enjoyed their lunch.
