What’s popular?

December 8, 2011 by Diana

Thanks to all who have made purchases through our special holiday gift store, for those who have bought CSNW merchandise in our online store and to new Chimpanzee Pals! The chimpanzees are supported by your donations and we appreciate your generosity!

No doubt you are wondering how your tastes compare to those of other supporters. Wonder no longer.

The most popular holiday gift store item is…..

Runners up in the holiday store are:

and Negra Pullover Hoodies

And if you’re wondering who has the most Pals, well it’s Burrito with 24 current Pals. Shockingly, Jamie, the leader of the Cle Elum Seven, has the fewest Pals with 17.

There’s still time to sign up yourself or a loved one to the Chimpanzee Pal program and receive a treat of CSNW Chimp Brittle from Allison’s Gourmet. You can choose either $20 per month or $240 in one donation. Learn more on our Holiday Pal page.

Whether signing up to be a Pal or perusing the gift store or checking out our merchandise, we wish you Happy Holiday Shopping and Giving!
