The Romeo’s Unofficial Club in The Villages, FL

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

I bet that title got your attention!  That is an unofficial club here in The Villages, Florida.  Romeo stands for “Real Old Men Eating Out” and it keeps growing to the point they had to split off new groups.  There is a membership fee which goes toward the birthday boy of the month.  You eat free at the monthly dining out event if it is your birthday month you get to pick the restaurant, if two birthdays you take turns if you can remember from one year to the next. 

The normal size group is about 20 real old men, so dinner reservations need to made far out and generally the female server has a great time as the old guys are just being a Romeo!  A fun night is when they go to Mexican and wear the sombrero and Longhorn Steak House when they bring out the saddle, for those who can mount it!

Ladies not to worry, many belong to a group that goes out the same night, JUGS!  Again, do I have your attention? Just Us Girls!

Good morning, Dick... we had one of those in my neighborhood to which my husband belonged. Sadly, many of the members died of old age... and the group disbanded. We have only 350 homes in the neighborhood and in recent years we've had many more younger people move in as well.

Oh what a wonderful thing for the men and ladies to do. And unlike Nina's husband's experience, there will always be people who could attend in the Villages.

Good morning Dick. We have a local breakfast and lunch restaurant that has been around since the 1930's. Breakfasts are hearty and it is "cash only"! One table in the rear seats about 8 and if you are not a member you can't sit there even if it is the only available table. I get it! Enjoy your day.

Dick Betts obviously you are still to young to be a member of that club, but it sounds like a good club to look forward to.

I just read and chuckled at the titles and got a bit inspired when I saw the women's group
