The 2012 RCMAHS July calendar cover is black and white and "July" is written in both English and Spanish. The photo on the left is of Manuel Quiroz in a car waving. Next to his photo is a description of his life and experiences. The calendar text reads: "Manuel Quiroz was born at home on 11th Street in Riverside on July 30, 1921. At the age of 90 years, he holds on to the stories of the past to share with all. He served in WWII on the Europe campaign. In returning home, he married Connie Torres. He and Connie celebrated 62 years of marriage before her death. They had four children, Manuel Jr., Rose, Margie, and Albert. Mr. Quiroz was always volunteering and serving on many committees in Riverside. He served as assistant to the City Council, The Riverside County Office of Aging, and was very committed at the Villegas Center to providing an array of services. He is to be honored in December 2011 for 65 years of his membership in The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. - Linda Thompson September, 2011." The background is a travel notebook.
