Over 35 years vacationing in Aruba

EAGLE BEACH — Recently, Kimberley Richardson
of the Aruba Tourism Authority had the great plea-
sure to honor Aruba’s loyal and friendly visitors as
Goodwill Ambassadors and Emerald Ambassadors
of Aruba.

The Goodwill Ambassador certificate is presented
on behalf of the Minister of Tourism, as a token of
appreciation to the guests who visit Aruba 20 years
and more consecutively. The Emerald Ambassador
certificate is presented to guests who visit Aruba 35
years and more consecutively.

The honorees were Randy & Linda De Graffenreid as
Goodwill Ambassadors of Aruba, and John & Erika
Pyrzyk as Emerald Ambassadors of Aruba. The cere-
mony was one of importance to us because honor-
ing guests who have been coming to Aruba for over
35 years is incredibly rare. It was a very memorable
moment.

This lovely group of people stated that they love the
island very much, especially for its year-round sunny
weather, nice sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, de-
licious variety of foods, its safety, and Aruba’s warm
and friendly people that became like family to them.

Richardson together with the representatives of the
Costa Linda Beach Resort presented the certificates
to the honorees, handed over some presents and
also thanked them for choosing Aruba as their favor-
ite vacation destination and as their home-away-
from-home. q
