Some associations update members and donors once a year: someone writes a summary from memory and notes, emails it out, and posts it on the website. Lake Pulse drafts that report from the year's activity: what happened and when, where the money went, the highlights and the setbacks. A report built from the record holds up better than one written from memory.
You don't have to wait until year-end, either. Share alerts and updates through the portal and app as things happen, then close the year with a report that's nearly done. When you choose, the same record makes it easy to show local and state government your lake's challenges and progress.
