Happy Birthday, Karen!

June 8, 2020 by Katelyn

Julie Olson, and her sister, Karen Olson, have been a such wonderful friends of the chimpanzees for years, and today, Julie is sponsoring a day of sanctuary in honor of Karen:

“I want to sponsor a day for the chimps for my sister Karen’s birthday. She is the one who introduced me to the fact that the chimps arrived in Cle Elum in 2008. She is a huge animal lover and I know this is more meaningful to her than any present I could give her.”

Julie and Karen, you’ve both made a lasting difference in the lives of the chimpanzees and we’re so grateful to have you as part of their family. We’re thrilled to be able to celebrate your special day with you, Karen, and hope you have the most beautiful time of celebration! Happy Birthday from all of us here!

Burrito, always the life of the party:

    The happiest of birthday wishes to you, Karen…I hope you’re having a special day!!!

    LOL…Photo #2…Yes, pictures really do “speak a thousand words”…I can’t think of another recent photo of Burrito (except the one of him playing with JR through the window… HaHaHa) that better exemplifies his resilient, goofy & playful nature…It’s so terribly endearing…There’s clearly no wonder why he’s SO beloved…by SO many…Such a perfect snapshot of this dear boy who captured my heart a long time ago…(Of course, I’ll always love the other nine so VERY much…)
