As part of the settlement, the resort will pay $10,000 to the Vermont Human Rights Commission and place $20,000 in a charitable trust to be disbursed by the Linsleys, according to the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Vermont.
It also agreed to no longer host wedding receptions.

So instead of inclusion they chose to not do receptions for anyone. Smart business acumen there folks. Snark included at no charge. One business I hope fails in epic proportions.
