Gearing up to party

December 23, 2009 by Diana

Packages from good friends of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees have begun to arrive and volunteers are busy getting ready for the big celebration on the 25th. The chimps? Well, Negra is doing her thing.

Volunteer Denice wrapping gifts that Robbi sent and getting into the spirit of the  holidays. (Beware when Diana and a camera are in the chimp house 😉

    Can’t wait to see the pictures of the Christmas party. Also looking forward to seeing a picture of our sweet Negra gazing out a bar free window.
    I want to wish all the staff of CSNW a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year! Thank you all for sharing the Cle Elum with us. Looking forward to watching their continued growth.

    I hope that the Cle Elum Seven, Staff, and Volunteers all have a Merry Christmas and New Years. And your Santa’s wish list gets everthing
    on it. An the Chimps have a great time on Christmas day.

    Here’s a BIG thank you to everyone who completed my Christmas “crackers”, no pop included. The wrapping part was easy but twisting the end and tieing wasn’t easy, my Mom was a big help. I envy the chimps with an extra pair of hands.

    Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year. Diana and Sarah, thanks for the photos. What a fun time. Looking at the photos, I felt like Negra on the days I was supposed to be there. I pulled the blanket over my head, too. 🙂 See you all in the New Year!
