Glenn Miller, vice chair of Desert Arc's board of directors, poses with Victoria, Desert Arc Client of the Year awardee; Renee Griffin, Desert Arc Volunteer of the Year awardee; and Brooke Beare, event emcee. This is a story about a mother's love for her daughter with Down syndrome and her overwhelming desire to help other people with disabilities, not only within the Coachella Valley but throughout Southern California. Renée N. Griffin is a devoted volunteer at Desert Arc who, for the past eight years, has listened intently to the needs of the special needs community.
