of Lakewood, WA

We've had an established group of R.O.M.E.O.'s meeting for breakfast twice a month here in Lakewood Washington for the past 3-4 years. 

We number 12- 14 men, many retired military and all members of The Little Church on the Prairie. Our founder, a retired WWII U.S. Air Force officer, belonged to a club in North Carolina many years ago before moving to the Pacific Northwest and he introduced us to the idea of forming a Christian fellowship group based on the ROMEO concept in our church. We may be small in number but enjoy the camaraderie and volunteer our services for various projects around the church campus that are not covered by the annual budget. We would like to be recognized and included in the national (international) list of established clubs (without submitting a web page or computer network link for the purpose of communication) ! Our desire is primarily to be listed among the hundreds of other similar clubs and I recall seeing that list on the net when I first researched the background of the ROMEO clubs after seeing an in depth report on TV's CNN a while back. We never knew there were other similar groups throughout the country....our leader forgot to mention that when we first organized our "club" and we now (embarrassingly) realize it was not an original idea here at the church after all! It was certainly unintentional and we'd be proud to register alongside fellow ROMEO clubs to announce our presence here in Lakewood. We are only exclusive in the fact that our group are all Christian gentlemen and are members of LCOP. We have no ambitions to recruit membership outside of our own church at this time as our intent was to enlist retired men in the congregation, enjoy their fellowship, exchange "war stories" and partake of a hearty breakfast at a favorite local restaurant. That, in itself, seemed to qualify us as an official R.O.M.E.O group. Thanks for the organizations support.
