Adventures in a Tutu

by

Yahoo!! We are officially over the $7000 mark! Yay for Candace and her very generous donation today! Thanks so much to everyone who helped us reach our goal. And thanks to all our readers for supporting the CSNW family. We couldn’t take care of our seven wonderful friends without you!

So, as promised, here’s the video of Jamie exploring the outdoor area in a tutu. Thanks to Laura for the tutu manufacturing and donation! You’ll see Jamie climbing, brachiating, rolling the culvert, and lastly – trying to poke the camera. A good adventure, right?

Soooo close!

Jamie’s in a great mood today. At the moment she’s wearing a new tutu, a scarf, a sock, and a glove. I’ll post some video of her costumed adventures shortly. But first – we’re only a few hundred dollars away from reaching our anniversary goal, and the deadline is today. Please help us get there! I’ll report back when we’ve met our goal. We can do it!

Four Days, $1565 – can we do it?

by

Thanks to really awesome supporter-fundraisers, we have raised $5,435 on our Firstgiving pages towards the goal of $7,000 by the end of June. I have been amazed at the success of the supporters of the Cle Elum Seven, and can’t thank you all enough!!

We’re still $1565 away from reaching our goal, and there are only four days left. So, I’m writing this post while I’m on vacation and way past the time when I should be sleeping because I’m wondering if we’ll be able to do it.

I know we can.

Please donate to Negra’s page today or take a look at the other wonderful pages set up by supporters. Margaret is still offering to paint a portrait of the chimpanzee of your choice in exchange for a donation (her paintings are absolutely amazing), Grace is still offering cards with animal illustrations by artist Colin Redmon (who is uber-talented), and Tamela is still offering to make chimpanzee footprint pendants (I have one and it is really cool!). Plus there are many other people who have pages set up and are offering fabulous things in exchange for a donation (including simply the good feeling you get when you support a friend and a good cause) – check them all out, give, and help me sleep easy knowing we’ve reached our goal.
