 Leo Alonso
Porto Caravan welcomes Leo Alonso to its highest leadership position. Leo became a member of Porto Caravan in October 2002. His leadership ability, enthusiasm and dedication to the principles of Alhambra made him a clear choice to lead Porto Caravan as Grand Commander for two previous years (2004-2006) and again for the 2007-2008 term. Leo and his Sultana Betty have been in the forefront of promoting Paul VI Catholic High School's "Options Program," and the George Mason University LIFE (Learning Into Future Environments.) Their special child Vivian is a graduate of the Options Program and a wonderful example of its value and importance in experiencing learning to the maximum achievement level in a Catholic school environment.
