Spring!

March 20, 2012 by Sarah

We brought springtime inside this morning to celebrate the equinox in memory of our friend Katie Gieser. The chimps had a lovely forage with lots of lettuce (always a special treat!). Plus paper flowers and decorations galore! Here are a few highlights:

Missy (tho I wouldn’t have known it was her unless Jackie told me!) feasting away:

Mister B amidst the spiderweb of yellow ribbon:

Jamie with her collection from the forage:

And Jamie again, posing perfectly for the camera in her springtime nest (note the boot in her hip pocket):

“Spring Fling” in memory of Katie Gieser

March 20, 2012 by Sarah

Today we celebrate and remember a very special friend of the Cle Elum Seven, Katie Gieser. Katie was a very devoted blog reader, and so passionate about primates that she followed her passion all the way to Africa to visit sanctuaries on seven separate trips. Katie passed away on March 14, 2012 after a long battle with cancer. I am touched and humbled to say that her sponsorship of today’s party was on her mind in her last days and she wanted to make sure that the chimps were able to celebrate spring in style. She also wanted us to use her love of the chimps to inspire others to support the sanctuary. If you’d like to make donation in her memory, I know her family would be honored. Please join me in celebrating this first day of spring in honor of Katie.
