Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage was the venue for MAPDA’s fourth annual West Coast Humanitarian Awards Reception, held March 20. The event honored outstanding community leaders for their efforts to combat drug abuse and pass the crucial Prop 36 bill, which significantly alters drug- and theft-related offenses in California. Honorees include Wanda & Anthony Matranga owners of The Printing Place, advocate and parent Matt Capelouto, Assemblyman Greg Wallis, and Karla & Marc Troast.
