Let’s Save Some Lives
Blood Drive 2025 will take place on Saturday, August 30, 2025 from 7:30 am until ? at the Powell Cottage (N7083 E Pine Lake Lane). Once again we will be joining forces with Long Lake, Gilbert Lake and other area lakes for a donor packed morning, delicious treats and community building. The Powells are once again planning an amazing surprise for all who volunteer at this event! What could it be?
Sign up information will be available at the annual meeting. Do not hesitate to reach out to Sarah Kirchhoff with any questions.
Even if you’re unable to give blood you are welcome to come join in the camaraderie, food and fun!

Message from Pine Lake Camp
Update from Pine Lake Camp
Greetings from the community, campers, and staff of Pine Lake Camp as well as Robyn and Ben and their family! We at Pine Lake Camp are so thankful for the strong relationships we’ve been able to build with our neighbors around the lake.
We’re so thankful to see collaboration grow over the past few years, and want to reinforce some helpful patterns:
Folks are welcome to walk through the camp along N. Pine Lake Rd. and around the loop that goes through the camp, around the camp Chapel and back out. Camp staff may still ask where you’re heading, if it’s unclear, but you’re welcome to use that walking path! While our programs are in operation, we are not able to have guests outside of that path.
We are also not able to have any unleashed pets, or small motorized or off-road vehicles on that loop or the Camp driveway, because only volunteer-use equipment is accounted for in our insurance.
We would also like to highlight the camp driveway specifically. As part of a deliberative agreement with neighbors, seven or eight years ago, the camp constructed and paid for a private driveway. The driveway was constructed for the use of the Camp participants, with the intention of limiting Camp traffic and improving conditions on N. Pine Lake Rd. Use of the camp driveway by Lake residents has increased significantly over the past 1 to 2 years. If you are someone who uses the Camp driveway to access your residence, please consider making a contribution to help keep the Camp community strong and the property and driveway maintained.

We’re looking forward to seeing more friendly faces over the next year, and hoping to heat up our new Woodfire pizza oven for a public event soon. Thank you for your partnership! – Ben and Robyn Koehler (Kayler)
