Bonnie Brae’s chapter of the ROMEO Club meets monthly on every 3rd Wednesday of the month at 9 am — currently at Chloez’s Cafe. We make every effort to meet at different locations to take advantage of, and support, our local eateries. BBCA retirees, do join us for interesting breakfasts – and conversations!
You can find the monthly dates on the Events page.
Who are the ROMEOs?
According to their website, “the ROMEO CLUB™ is a lightly structured association of Retired Men that meet to have food and fun with like minded friends (and possibly find new friends).” NPR published an article about the nationwide program in April 2025: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/04/24/nx-s1-5372889/aging-men-social-connection-romeo-maine.
We eat out, have fun, make and keep friends, and are not bound by rules; that is, no causes, no specific membership restrictions except Retired “Old” Men Eating Out and talking. Our past meetings have touched on various subjects related to Ukraine, Russia, Fairfax Sr. Center, hiking the Sierra and Appalachian Trails, and downsizing. ROMEOS in other neighborhoods have their own schedules, meeting for breakfast or lunch or dinner once a week, or once a month, or whatever works for their group. Some are composed of people with similar interests or similar past professions, but most reflect the great mosaic that is the retired men’s community. Some have outside folks come in and talk or educate while others simply let the conversation flow.
