Overview of Birthday Management Features
SPARK MINDS offers several features to help you track and manage birthdays for members:

Detailed Instructions
1. Generating and Saving a PDF of Member Birthdays

Apply the filter to display members with birthdays in the desired month (e.g., choose Has birthday in month: August).
Click the Print button located at the top of the interface.
Select the Save as PDF option and save the file to your preferred location.
2. Viewing and Celebrating Upcoming Birthdays
