The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba embraces Diversity

PALM BEACH — Celebrating love, friendship and inclusion within PRIDE
month was the intention of The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba to organize a small
gathering yesterday night. “We from the Ritz-Carlton would like to ex-
press the openness towards diversity by showing love and care for all”,
Julika Thijsen, Sr. Marketing Coordinator, explains.

The month of June was chosen for LGBT Pride Month to commemorate
the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a re-
sult, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the im-
pact LGBT people have had in the world. The special evening at The
Ritz-Carlton, Aruba was dedicated to unite and embrace the diversity of
humans. Feel as you are and just be you is the message. The RCMemories
created another great moment of connection and celebrated this with
great wines and delicious hors d’oeuvres. q
