Our website is the repository of detailed information, both current and archived, about the Copake Lake Conservation Society. On the website you will find the full calendar of all events for the year, detailed articles on lake management and other important topics, “About Us” information and links to join, volunteer, and sign-up for our email list. The website houses all the core information we have accumulated over the years and want to share with our members.
Facebook and Instagram, on the other hand, are social networks that are used by many organizations, including ours, to post short and timely bits of information, photographs and videos that can easily be shared among users. Facebook and Instagram users come to us expecting to “comment,” "like," and "share" our postings. It is also a perfect venue for sharing photographs of our lake and our community activities. People don’t go to social networks to read lengthy prose, and the things we share there are in a “timeline” format, continually moving down as they are replaced by other brief, current information. We believe that Facebook and Instagram are important tools when we are communicating any ”breaking” information, as well as a place to share images and short links that will take users to read longer newsletter and web articles. As such, they are critical component of building and maintaining a sense of community among our residents, both new and old.
