  Fellow ROMEO’s,

  Last year's Survey results showed a strong desire to periodically have a late Breakfast event in the same month we also have a lunch meeting. We have chosen April 22 as our first breakfast event, leaving a 2 week gap between gatherings. Georgian Bay Family Restaurant has a room which seats up to 50, allowing us to be seated together.  Lunch spots may not always be busy on a Wednesday but the same cannot be said of a breakfast location.  Therefore they are less inclined to accept the type of advance booking we make. We look forward to everyone’s feedback on this event and moving forward we will determine if more Breakfasts should be scheduled.

  Looking forward to another great get together.

  John and Louis
