Aspen 2023
We took out another 24 people to Aspen in July this year staying in the great Hearthstone Hotel and had a great time: Scott and Suzanne and the all the staff are wonderful. We enjoy the home made breakfast for the morning and enjoy immensely the cocktail and appetizers in late afternoon before attending the: symphony, theater, ballet and incredible lectures.
