Proposal for board review — nothing on the live site has changed

A new front door for Mountain Foothills Rotary

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.

About our club

A club that works hard and laughs harder

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.

Things we do

Four ways we create lasting impact

All projects & causes

Evergreen Ice Melt Contest

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 →

Andy Smith Sr. INSPIRE Golf Tournament

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 →

Crutches 4 Africa

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 →

Resilience1220

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 →
End Polio Now
Rotarians worldwide have helped immunize over 2.5 billion children. We're in until polio is gone.

What we've been up to

All stories
The 4-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do…

1

Is it the truth?

2

Is it fair to all concerned?

3

Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

4

Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

The test Rotarians have applied to their words and actions since 1932.

What this design fixes

Every change below traces to a numbered finding in the 18 August review. Nothing is cosmetic for its own sake.

Finding 1 · UrgentZoom credentials come off the public page

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.

Findings 11 & 15One clear invitation instead of nineteen panels

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.

Finding 6 · UrgentThe “Add text here” panels become real stories

Resilience1220 and EPRD INSPIRE — two of the club's most compelling causes — get finished, correctly spelled panels with real copy.

Finding 9The calendar shows a living club

A “Coming up” card replaces the empty August grid, fed by the recurring Wednesday meeting and the fixed points of the club year.

Finding 7 · UrgentNews reads like news

Real headlines with dates and photos replace template text and working titles like “514story.” Shown headlines are examples of retitled existing stories.

Finding 2A contact form replaces the harvestable email

Enquiries route through ClubRunner's built-in form, so the club inbox stops being scraped by bots.

Finding 8Branding moves to 2026–27

“The Magic of Rotary” (2024–25) and the broken 2017–18 graphic give way to the current presidential message, Create Lasting Impact.

Findings 17–20Accessible by measurement, not intention

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.

How it goes live — and how it comes back off

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.

The board approves the direction

This page is the decision artifact: approve it, or mark up what should change. Nothing is published in the meantime.

The design is applied inside ClubRunner

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.

Verify, publish, and keep the escape hatch

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.

Honest fine print
  • Photo areas are placeholders — the finished site uses the club's own library of 438 photos.
  • ClubRunner controls the header/footer skeleton, so the live result will be this design's look applied to that structure — very close, not pixel-identical.
  • The board list shown should be confirmed as the 2026–27 slate before publishing.
  • The Zoom rotation, analytics fix, and story cleanup from the review's Phase 1 are worth doing this week regardless of this design.
