The main purpose is to provide informational, educational and sometimes just fun, posts to share with anyone interested, or a part of the ROMEO concept.  Most of the content comes from the folks behind the scenes here at the ROMEO CLUB™ website organization and their friends.  However, we have also opened up a channel for people to comment on our topics or raise other topics/issues of interest.

ROMEO CLUB™ Highlights – Friends

What is a friend?  ROMEO CLUB  helps create new friendships and means to stay connected.  Social media can help with that – the advantage of Facebook – a good channel for your exchanging life’s events and sharing good times.  I have friends and family that say “I just talked to them yesterday” when in reality a short exchange of texting went on between these people.  I personally am guilty of this, but ROMEO CLUB helps us move beyond that to the face-to-face connecting of real people.   

 The Branford CT Group met at Adriana's Restaurant in New Haven and there was some lively discussion face-to-face as you can see from the photograph.
