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'!!

The Committee

                                                    _________________


The Romeos and Juliets met at the restaurant for noon.

After the initial greetings and with our drinks served, 
the Committee welcomed all the members to our 3rd annual 
Christmas lunch.

Remarks were made about the 1st Christmas lunch when a few 
Juliets entertained the gathering with their table top dancing. 

It was also observed that the lack of insurance coverage made 
that act an area not recommended even though it was seriously 
applauded at the time.

After thanking the Juliets for their support, the Romeos toasted 
the ladies and also remembered past members.

Our own 'Beta' member, Ron Lewis, then took the floor to entertain 
our guests with his "jokes".
We all appreciated the 'Meals on Wheels' story.

'Gama', Ken Mulholland,  then rose to thank the Committee for organizing the gathering.













After the lunch was served, and further conversation, we departed for home after having a good time.

                                     **********
Once at the pub, we had tables setup for 9 members and all were there.
After the toast, the next lunch was discussed and the members present
were advised of the special Christmas Romeo and Juliet Lunch which will
be held on December 12, 2013. As this will be our third annual, the
Committee will prepare an agenda that will recognize all its members over
the past year and hopefully have the members participate in the programme.

It was great to see Carl with his new prosthetic leg which he now wears.
He has certainly made a great deal of progress and both he and Norma
deserve the credit.It can only get better. Hope you make it to Arizona.

It was nice to see John(Kappa) back from the Carolinas and golf with his
friends. Fortunately, Gina and John will make the Christmas Lunch before 
they return to Florida at the end of December.

Charlie and Jan had a wonderful trip to Hawaii and now are better prepared
for the coming winter in New Hamburg.

Ron and Elaine are still booked for February in Mexico and Joan and Dennis
are looking forward to 3 months in Tucson starting in January.

As always the company was great and we are fortunate to have our friends.
