ORANJESTAD ― Renais- sance Aruba Resort & Ca- sino exceeded all expec- tations with the second edi- tion of ‘Long Table’, as the culinary event was com- pletely sold out a month before date. For just one night Renaissance Aruba served dinner on the lon- gest table on the island. The table covered a large part of the L.G. Smith Boule- vard accommodated 1,000 people. This year all pro- ceeds of the event went to one charity: the Casa Cuna Progreso Foundation.
$25.000 donated to Casa Cuna Progreso Foundation The community contributed to the good cause by buy- ing a ticket for 25 dollars. All 1,000 attendees enjoyed a three course dinner, ac- companied by two glasses of wine. The Renaissance Aruba culinary team once again did a fantastic job! At the end of the evening a cheque with the amount of $25,000 was handed over to representatives of the Casa Cuna Progreso Foun- dation. Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, GM, Mr. Paul Gielen, expressed his delight for being able to do this for the Aruban com- munity. “This event fits per- fectly within the philosophy of the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, which is now part of the Wind Creek Hospitality Group; to give back to the com- munity and contribute to the positive development of our people. I would like to thank all colleagues who have worked hard to make
another edition of the Long Table a success. I would also like to thank everyone who bought a ticket so that we could raise funds for Casa Cuna this year. We hope to be able to count on you again next year! “
Thank you!
As far as the long table is concerned, Renaissance Aruba received the coop-
eration from the authori- ties to close the road and set up the elegant table just in front of the resort. Around 10 pm the road was opened again to the pub- lic. The music was provided by Lilly Love Band and DJ Joa and Erin Croes, the di- rector of Magic 96.5FM, was MC for the night. An event such as ‘Long Table’ Aruba, would not have
