In honor of Queen Negra!

June 13, 2020 by Katelyn

We’re so fortunate to have a second sponsor of a day on this very special day of celebration! Long-time friend and chimp family member, Kathleen Corby, sends this heart-lifting message about her gift:

“Happy 47th birthday to my dear Negra. This is one of my favorite days of the year. A day to honor and celebrate the one and only HRH, Queen Negra. I will be celebrating with you, munching on my StroopWaffels, sipping yummy pineapple spritzers with my special straw, wearing my CSNW pin, and popping my party cracker so I too can wear a crown and be Queen for a day with you. Oh what fun we will share during your Live (yippee!!) Queen’s Brunch celebration! May nut bags rain from the sky. Happy birthday Negra, I love you so. And Happy 12 Years of Sanctuary to everyone at CSNW. So much to be grateful for today. Let the celebrations begin…..”

Thank you so much, Kathleen, for sponsoring our Queen’s (and her family’s!) incredible day of celebration and for being right there with us all every step of the way. We’re so grateful to have you as part of our chimp family. <3

It’s finally here! The Queen’s Brunch! Be sure to tune into our live event on Facebook today at 11:00 AM PST to join in the festivities!

Happy Birthday, Negra! You are more loved than you may ever know.

    thanks, Kathleen!
    I won’t be able to comment, but will be watching along with all of you guys! Giving up some sunshine for this!

    Oh, that top pic never gets old!
    And pic no. 5….yeah, I’m feeling you, Neggie! We’re still trying though, aren’t we!?

    Neggie, I hope there’s sunshine, waffles, and, like Kathleen says, lots of night bags at each meal. Quiet time to nap it all off….
    And dear Neggie, I wish the same wish today that I always wish for you, every day: I wish you the top of the pineapple!

    Queen Negra gives hope to all us oldies and not so oldies. You can take on a new life, laze around when you want to, smell the green grass and join in the fun when you feel like it!.
    Sending love not only to the hairy ones but to all the followers and workers. The uploads and comments give me joy everyday.
