Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary

Greetings from a new team member

by Sarah

Happy Friday!  I wanted to take a few lines here on our blog and introduce myself.  My name is Michael Moore and I’m delighted to have joined the amazing team at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest as the new Development Director.   I’m excited to be back working in animal welfare and in particular for the Cle Elum 7.  I’ve been on board for a few weeks now and I’m in the process of getting to know the staff and chimps and they are getting to know me.  In fact, I’ve been spit on by Jody and Jamie wanted my boots on the first day so I’m feeling very welcome already.  I’ll be joining the team in sharing stories about the chimps with you, some insider information you can only get here, and hearing about your connections to the chimps and passion for animals!  I’ll also be working at building on the great fundraising work the staff here have already done – which has been amazing!  So, I’m looking forward to having  fun sharing fundraising ideas with you, hearing your suggestions about fundraising, and asking for your help in promoting the Sanctuary!  Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected].

    As long as the other staff haven’t spit on you or tried to take your boots or other clothes you are probably going to fit in just fine! Awesome. I’m glad the chimps have a new buddy and we have a new informant!

    Hello and welcome Michael. I live in Chicago, but I have donated my sister Pam Lehnert as a master fundraiser to the chimp cause. I know you’ll enjoy working with her; I hope she doesn’t spit on you. Let me know if she does, and I’ll take care of that. 🙂

    Greetings Michael and Welcome! When I first saw your name..I thought the Michael Moore from Flint, Michigan…where I’m originally from…Great!! Well, you’re not him but that’s ok…as long as you love the chimps as much as we do, we know you will be doing great things for them and they can always use another friend and advocate!
    Hope to meet you someday and congratulations…you are so lucky to be able to hang out with the magnificent 7!
