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, August 8, 2013


Our Romeo Luncheon was convened at The Williamsburg Arms in Kitchener.
This is one of our favourite eateries and it is just the right distance for a pleasant drive.

 The weather has warned up after a colder spell and it is quite pleasant.

 A total number of 10 members attended including Carl who is recovering from 
surgery and John Matthews who is also feeling better after his treatment.

 After our initial toast, Beta entertained the group with some good jokes. 
No one wanted to try to top them. Well done, Ron.

 Our young and pleasant waitress took our lunch orders and the group relaxed 
by talking to their fellow Romeos about the latest news and gossip. One of the 
topics, even at this time of the summer, was where various members would be
vacationing in the Fall and Winter. It seems that the top areas would be Hawaii 
for a couple of members and of course Florida and Arizona for others. 
George and Lynn have booked a trip to Italy this year with friends from Stonecroft.

 When lunch was served, the pub started to fill up and we were happy to have arrived early.

 All in all, we enjoyed our outing, where the friendship of neighbours means so much.

 Our thanks to all the drivers for their efforts.
