Attention Artists and Creators
We’re looking for creative community members to participate in our upcoming Chair-ity Auction! We will provide you with a piece of wooden furniture so you can transform it into a one-of-a-kind work of art! Paint it, stain it, decoupage it…the creative direction is entirely up to you. Contact Breeze Kidder at bkidder@pinetreesociety.org to claim your piece and start creating.
Board Spotlight: Meet Ryan
We are pleased to shine a spotlight on Ryan Oakes, member of Pine Tree Society’s Board of Directors since 2024. As a former Pine Tree Camp counselor, he has hands-on experience with how our programming creates a fully accessible and inclusive space for our community. Check out this conversation with Ryan to learn more about his years with our organization.
Let’s be friends!
To celebrate Pine Tree Society’s 90th anniversary, our incredible Board of Directors jumped into the 90s Music Video Challenge with the iconic “Friends” theme song! When it comes to supporting Maine people with disabilities and their families, our Board says “I’ll be there for you…‘cause you’re there for me too!” Settle onto your couch, watch the video and cast your vote!
