The El Dorado Rotary Club mourns the life of one of its most active members, Roger Joyce, who died when struck while bicycling yesterday. Roger was President of the club from 1995-96. He was awarded as a Paul Harris Fellow for contributions to the Rotary International Foundation. His quiet good nature and faith, his professionalism in his career, his friendship with all of us will be greatly missed.

December 2011 Dear fellow Rotarian: I am pleased to share the 2010-11 Rotary International and Rotary Foundation Annual Report . For the first time ever, we have developed a website for the report that incorporates video and other rich media not available in the print version.
