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'!!

Ray Lachance Visit - March 11, 2103

Today we paid a visit to see one of our original members, Ray.

Ray is now in the Long Term Care Residence of Forest Heights.

The weather was not good to take him out for a coffee today so
we walked down to the ground floor and sat in the foyer room,
where we chatted.

Around noon, we went back to the dining room where lunch was

being served and said our goodbyes.

Hopefully we will be able to get a Tim Horton's coffee next time.

Kevin, Nancy and Ray
