Ice Melt 2027: the barrel returns to Evergreen Lake
Dates and ticket locations for this winter's contest land this fall — here's what we know so far.
Below is a working mockup of a redesigned mountainfoothillsrotary.org homepage, built directly from the 18 August website review. It keeps the club's ClubRunner platform, its existing theme, and its own words — and it goes live only if the board approves.
We're an evening Rotary club, chartered in 2001 to serve the foothills community — and to make sure our members have fun doing it. Visitors are always welcome.
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM — social at 5:30, optional dinner after. Dues are low and meals are optional, on purpose.

On October 31, 2001, the Mountain Foothills Rotary club was chartered with two founding principles: serve the Evergreen community, and make sure its members have fun doing so.
Twenty-five years later that's still the deal. We gather each Wednesday evening at Mount Vernon Canyon Club — in person and on Zoom — for good company, a speaker worth hearing, and the work of running some of the foothills' favorite traditions.
Our signature winter tradition: guess when the barrel drops through the ice on Evergreen Lake. Every ticket supports local causes, including Resilience1220's counseling for young people in the foothills.
About the contest →Each July we take over the greens to fund EPRD's INSPIRE program, opening recreation, sports and community to people with special needs in Evergreen and beyond.
Tournament & sponsorship →Together with Crutches 4 Africa, we collect and ship mobility devices — crutches, walkers, wheelchairs — to people who need them across the developing world.
How to donate a device →We back Resilience1220's free and low-cost counseling for ages 12–20, because mountain kids deserve mountain-strong support — a beneficiary of Ice Melt proceeds.
Why it matters →Dates and ticket locations for this winter's contest land this fall — here's what we know so far.
Sponsors, players and volunteers turned a July morning on the greens into real support for EPRD's INSPIRE program.
New officers, a fresh service calendar, and the same standing invitation: come see a meeting.
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
The test Rotarians have applied to their words and actions since 1932.

Every change below traces to a numbered finding in the 18 August review. Nothing is cosmetic for its own sake.
The meeting link, passcode and dial-in details are replaced with “contact us for the link.” The credentials themselves still need to be rotated in Zoom, per the review.
The page now leads with when and where the club meets and a single “Visit a meeting” button — then events, causes and news, in that order.
Resilience1220 and EPRD INSPIRE — two of the club's most compelling causes — get finished, correctly spelled panels with real copy.
A “Coming up” card replaces the empty August grid, fed by the recurring Wednesday meeting and the fixed points of the club year.
Real headlines with dates and photos replace template text and working titles like “514story.” Shown headlines are examples of retitled existing stories.
Enquiries route through ClubRunner's built-in form, so the club inbox stops being scraped by bots.
“The Magic of Rotary” (2024–25) and the broken 2017–18 graphic give way to the current presidential message, Create Lasting Impact.
Links pass WCAG AA contrast and are underlined, body text moves to 17px with roomier line spacing, and every colour pairing in this mockup was contrast-checked.
No new platform, no developer contract. ClubRunner officially supports uploaded stylesheets that override the club's existing Vision theme, plus drag-and-drop page restructuring — the exact levers this design was built for.
This page is the decision artifact: approve it, or mark up what should change. Nothing is published in the meantime.
One custom stylesheet uploaded under Website Settings (override mode, “Theme Setting: Enabled”) plus a homepage restructure in the Live Page Designer — done alongside the Phase 1 fixes from the review, and previewed as an unpublished draft first.
Check desktop and real phones, then publish. Deactivating the stylesheet returns the site to exactly today's look, instantly — that one-click reversal is the safety net.
