NOORD — Recently, Marouska

Aruba as their favorite vacation
destination.

The honorees were:
Willem Burgemeestre and Martine
van Streun from Oegstgeest
Ted and Voula Leakes from New
Jersey
Jeffrey and Maureen Kahl from

These lovely people stated that
they love coming to our island be-

beautiful weather, the white sandy
beaches and the delicious cuisine.

Heyliger together with Mr. Luigi He-
redia, General Manager of Costa
Linda Beach Resort, presented the
honorees with the symbolic honor-
ary title on behalf of the Minister of

and thanked them for choosing
