Mrs. Weinstein also shared a wonderful story with Ms.Heyliger to what Aruba means to her:
“45 years ago my late husband and I came here on a trip run by the 32-caret club, a masonic group that my husband was a member of. We knew no one in the organization, however, at the end of those 10 days we were all friends and returned every year ever since. I loved the idea of returning here yearly. We wound up purchasing 2 weeks and wound up with 9 weeks. I love this place; the people, food, and especially being away from the harsh winter in New Jersey. ARUBA IS MY HOME!”
On behalf of the Aruba Tourism Authority, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the honoree for her continued visits to the“One Happy Island”.
