6th Annual Love a Chimpanzee Day

April 23, 2015 by Elizabeth

We threw a big party this morning in honor of Love a Chimpanzee Day and Monica Best. Monica and her mom Linda don’t live locally, but they gave us some cash and told us to go buy all the chimps’ favorite foods for today’s festivities.

We decked out the greenhouse in streamers, which are a staple of any good party. Then we set out a forage of some favorites: leeks, bell peppers, green onions, beets, and fruit smoothie.

    Monica and Linda you two are the best!! “Love A Chimpanzee Day” is a most excellent idea. And this party today looks like so much fun!! Just look at Foxie tossing back that yummy smoothie shot.

    Monica, Happy Birthday! May every day this year bring you happiness!

    Happy Birthday Monica. How wonderful. Such a lovely day for all – I think that everyday at the Sanctuary is “Love A Chimpanzee Day” from what I can tell.

    What a beautiful celebration for the Chimpanzees. Thank you to the Volunteers for all your hard work in putting together such a happy time for the Chimps. It is the generosity and caring from people like Monica, Linda and all of you at the Sanctuary that make this world a much better place.

    Thank you to everyone who helped give the chimps an extra special Love A Chimpanzee Day. I was so sad I couldn’t make it, but I’m glad the chimps had a good time. Thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes.
