Roberto Alonso is the owner of Borland & Associates Insurance in Key Largo. “I am very much involved in my community and serve on a number of non profits in a variety of roles, from Chairman of the board to board director. All these institutions aim to better the quality of life for different demographics and fill important communal needs.
One of the most important of these needs is the stewardship of our beautiful but very fragile special ecosystems, central to this preservation effort is the safeguarding of our native birds for they give the keys it's magical, "only here", feel and footprint.
If we lose them, we lose the Keys, which is our mantra, "keep them flying".
Penny was raised in Minnesota and now she splits her time
between Key Largo and a home in Montana. She has extensive experience working in charitable activities and serving on charity boards.
