the great pleasure to honor Aruba’s loyal

The honorees were the couple Charles

with couple Osvaldo Rosito and Lidia

loyal visitors come from all over the world.

This wonderful group stated that they love
the island very much, especially for its
safety, its year-round sunny weather, nice
sandy beaches, and Aruba’s warm and
friendly people.
