Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Tip #1: Exercise first thing in the morning (or late at night if you ask Jamie)…
Boss Jamie (front) and her posse explore Young’s Hill first thing this morning :
Tip #2: Nap in the coolest area of your home, keeping your limbs elevated… If done properly you may even require a light blanket…

Tip #3: Make sure you eat lots of refreshing snacks…

This day of sanctuary was sponsored by Judy Riner in memory of her husband, Bryan Riner, and she shared this beautiful message about her special gift in his honor:
“Bryan Riner loved and respected chimps. He especially enjoyed following the lives of the Cle Elum Seven, and he would be proud to know that his family honors his memory in this way. He was a loving husband and father, and that love and compassion extended to all species.”
Judy, thank you so very much for this special gift in Bryan’s memory. You and your family have been such good friends to the chimpanzees and we are honored to celebrate Bryan here today. All of us here at the sanctuary will be holding you all in our hearts and minds. We hope that the love you extend to the chimpanzees, enabling them to live their lives full of joy and comfort, is felt all around you as you celebrate Bryan and his wonderful legacy of compassion and respect for all our fellow beings.
