ROMEO meets on Wednesday at 10:00 AM. This week's meeting will be covering:
China, Part II
In his first talk, Carson Tavenner presented an overview on China, that hugely significant yet little understood country that is changing our expectations of the 21st century. We hear about China almost every day, but what is it? We know it’s old, but so what? We know it’s an economic powerhouse, but what does that mean? In this second of a series of talks, Carson will focus on some of the more specific politics, history, language, people, culture and current events, in response to questions asked by the group.
Heinz Lycklama has also traveled in China and will share some of his experiences and thoughts.

ROMEO This Week: Cameroon Trip Report
ROMEO meets Wednesday at 10:00 A.M.
For the meeting on April 25, 2012 Heinz and Gerda Lycklama recently came back from their trip to Cameroon. Heinz will give a report on what's happening in Africa and what it's like to
travel to/from and in Cameroon. He will show some slides taken during their two-week visit and comment on the living conditions in Cameroon. The role of the Chinese in Africa will also be discussed.
Also, there will be a dedication of the new railroad station in downtown Arlington next Saturday, the 28th of April--it really should be an interesting event--and there will be a couple of vintage automobiles (provided it doesn't rain) to be parked in front of the station. There will be a display of intriguing, fully restored old gas-powered equipment from the very early 1900's and a Dixieland band. The program starts at 11:30 AM and will run to about 2:00 PM.

We Need Your Recommendations!
Once the new website is up and running, one feature that will be available is a Professional Directory. There was something similar to this on the old website and the goal is to take that idea and make it better. The Professional Directory will feature the recommendations of Gleneagle residents for a variety of professional services.
This is where you come in. Have you had your roof redone and loved the guy who did it? Do you get your windows cleaned by a fantastic company and think other people should know about it? Send in the name and contact info of any company you have used and liked with a quick word of recommendation and your name. These will get listed on the new website for other Gleneagle residents to see.
Thanks for your help!
