Pine Tree Palooza a Hit!
We are so thrilled to share that our first annual Pine Tree Palooza was a huge success. Friends and families gathered at Lost Valley to engage with local nonprofits, try Pine Tree Camp’s adaptive equipment, bid on our Chair-ity Auction items, and dance to live music into the night. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our mission and taking a chance on our brand-new event!
Holiday Cards
The 2026 Holiday Card designs have hit the spotlight! This year, we are proud to present a variety of designs to celebrate the holiday season. A Pine Tree Camper and a Pine Tree Society Case Management client have shared their talents, some seasoned community artists have returned, and for the first time, we are featuring a photography design!
Board Spotlight: Meet Shelly
We are pleased to shine a Board spotlight on Shelly Houser, a new member of our Board of Directors. Shelly’s experience as a person with a disability and almost two decades of involvement in Human Services work make her perspective invaluable to Pine Tree Society’s Board. Check out this conversation with Shelly to find out more.
