Our winter Ice Melt contest is a great way to raise money for our many community projects and to generate publicity for the good things we do for Summit County and the community at large.
Your personal ticket packet is available, so please pick it up. If you need assistance, contact Cindy Levin or Wendy Myers. You may purchase the entire packet of 40 tickets for $140 and give them to family, friends, employees, clients, neighbors, etc., or sell them at the ticket price. Members of Rotary cannot win the contest, but family members can win. Please turn in your envelope and money/ticket stubs to Cindy Levin, Wendy Myers or Catheryn Carlson. Checks should be made to "Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund." If you need additional tickets, do not borrow from another member, request them from any Ice Melt committee member or contact Cindy Levin at crhiking1@gmail.com.
If you do not receive stubs for the tickets that you give away or sell, recipients can deliver them to any Alpine Bank in Summit County, give them to any club Rotarian, or mail them to Rotary Ice Melt, P.O. Box 4401, Frisco, CO 80443.
We will be launching the clock device at 10 a.m. March 4 at the Dillon Marina (with the help of the Sheriff's team). The contest closes at 23:59:59 April 14, unless the clock drops sooner. All tickets must be given to one of the club’s Ice Melt committee members by the end of the club meeting April 15.
The Rotary Club of Summit County has partnered with the Summit County Libraries to present Write the Rockies, a celebration of writing that includes writing contests that offer prizes, author visits and workshops. A poetry and short story contest is now open for Summit County adults and high school and middle school students in English and Spanish.
Entries will be judged by a panel of 12 local education advocates. Cash prizes of $300, $200 and $100 will go to first-, second- and third-place winners in each category. Writers can submit as many entries as they want, but only their best submission will win. All entries of quality will be collected and published in an anthology that will be added to all three libraries’ collections. The deadline for all submissions is March 17, 2025.
Here are some general guidelines: • All poetic forms are accepted • Short stories must be 5,000 words or less • All submissions must be original • Submissions for all ages and categories can be made online at https://forms.gle/u2hmsKT5VycfEMSM6 • All first-, second- and third-place winners will have the chance to read their work aloud for Krystal 93
The first author visit will be Jan. 18. Byron Graves, an award-winning young adult writer, will engage listeners with his journey as a writer and where he finds inspiration. The talk will be free to the public. It begins at 5 p.m. at the North Branch Library in Silverthorne.
In February, acclaimed author Pam Houston will speak at the North Branch library in Silverthorne at 6 p.m. Feb. 5. Her stories are included in volumes of The O. Henry Awards and Best American Short Stories of the Century. She is best known for her book "Cowboys Are my Weakness." Houston teaches at the Institute of American Indian Arts, is a professor of English at U.C. Davis and is co-founder and creative director of the literary nonprofit Writing By Writers. The event is free.
Other sponsors of Write the Rockies are Next Page Books and the Education Foundation of the Summit.
The Freshman Class project this year is to create a digital library where Rotary can store photos and short videos of the many activities we support. Rotarians can use this library to put together presentations to share with the community. The first presentation will be a marketing video that will be ready in time for our club’s 50th anniversary!
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please scroll through your phones and computers to see what photos or short videos you have taken over the years. Then, follow these instructions to upload them. There are two ways to include your photos and videos in the library:
OPTION 1: PREFERRED • Open the following link: https://bit.ly/SCR-PhotoUpload • After login, you’ll see a form titled: Summit County Rotary Upload Photos & Videos • Next, you will need to fill in two required fields: - Name and date of the event in the photo or video - Name of Rotarian uploading video • There is one optional field: - Names of Rotarians in the picture • Then, click on “Add file” at the bottom of the form:
• You will see the following window, where you can drag images and videos into the space indicated or click “Browse” to browse your computer for them. You can select multiple files (up to 10 totaling up to 1GB of size) at once to save time. Note, 1,000MB = 1GB. • Once you upload your files, you’ll see them populating the space. You can click the “Add file” button again to add more, up to the limit.
• If you’re unsure of the total size of your files or accidentally select more than ten files, you’ll see this error message. • When you’re finished, click “Submit” and you’ll see confirmation that your upload was successful.
OPTION 2 – NOT PREFERRED, BUT USEFUL IF YOU DON’T HAVE A GMAIL ACCOUNT
• This email account will accept more than 10 files, but the total can’t exceed 35MB. So, unless videos are short, they are unlikely to be successfully emailed. You’ll know you are sending too much if you get an error message. In this case, you might be able to separate your files into multiple emails, or upload the video(s) to another site and email a link. (Our team can help with this!)

All mail from users with that domain are allowed.
