All You Ever Wanted to Know About Insurance

“Mad” for March Fun!


The Happening That’s Happening From the IE to the OC!

If you are like most of us here at Kessler Alair Insurance you work hard to play hard. For many of us filling our weekends with fun family activities is first priority when we clock out on Friday evening. It has been quite a bit rainy lately but we are seeing some sun in the forecast and the time is about to change! This means more day light for fun. Having our offices located in Newport Beach, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland California gives us a wide variety of events to choose from. Of course one of the best things about Southern California is the fact that you can go snowboarding in the morning and sit on the beach to watch the sunset all in the same day.

Whether you are in the Inland Empire or in Orange County and you are looking for a great thing to do this month here are a few ideas:
