SNBA Expresses Gratitude to the

Aruban Community for Their Support

A fantastic atmosphere prevailed on

Sunday, September 24th, during the
event organized by the San Nicolas
Business Association (SNBA) named
“Say Yes to Secrets.” During this event,

the Aruban community was invited to
sign a support list to ensure the contin-
uation of the Secrets Hotel project.

A large crowd gathered for the event,
which started at 4:00 PM and continued
until 11:00 PM. Musical groups such
as Tsunami, Buleria, Shine Music,

and DJs JB&F-Mini D and Metropolis
provided a delightful evening of enter-
tainment. Attendees also savored deli-
cious Caribbean cuisine typical of San

Nicolas.

As an organization dedicated to
advancing the commercial progress

of San Nicolas, SNBA is immensely
grateful for the support received
during the closing event. The Secrets
Hotel project in San Nicolas holds
