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 22, 2013

Today the Chapter of the Romeos drove to Stratford to dine
at Crabby Joe's Restaurant on Ontario Street to enjoy a lunch
and fellowship.
Eleven members were in attendance which was organized by Beta.

After drinks were served and our orders taken our newest member,
Harry, was formally greeted to the Chapter by George, his sponsor
and presented with his Romeo certificate recognizing his status and
call sign as 'Eta'.
It was also good to see John Fenwick who has been busy lately in
rebuilding an older type classic RV.

Beta provided his joke of the day and opened the floor for more.
Both Ken Mulholland and George added to the joke list.
Dennis advised the group of his experience lately with his smoke
detectors being programmed for 7 years use at which time they will
continually annoy you with a beep sound until they are replaced.
Fortunately, some of the members were aware of this problem.

Carl has been given good news by his surgeon on his leg and is
taking therapy at Freeport twice per week. It's good to see him partake
of the lunches at this time which he handles well with the assistance
of the members when it is required.

The New Hamburg Chapter is indeed fortunate to be composed of
such a fine group of men. This is 'a band of brothers' to be sure.
