Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Zane and Ian Davies in memory of their grandfather, Carl Rude. Zane is a chimp house volunteer and puts so much thought, care and hard work into everything he does for the chimpanzees. We are so lucky to have him as part of our sanctuary family! He shared this message about today:
“In memory of my grandfather Carl Rude whose birthday is December 13th. Carl would have been absolutely fascinated by the work CSNW does for these chimpanzees. He was a very compassionate man who was always helping others who need it. Thank you CSNW staff. Please accept this donation from Ian and Zane Davies in Carl Rude’s memory on what would have been his 84th birthday.”
Zane and Ian, thank you so much for your generous gift for the chimpanzees as you carry on your grandfather’s legacy. We are honored that you would choose to celebrate his memory by making the chimps’ lives better. It sounds like he was a very special person. We will be holding all of you in our thoughts today and thank you for caring about the chimpanzees and all you do for them.
Jamie:
A wonderful way to honor the memory of a loved one. Thank you for giving to the Chimps.
What a loving tribute.
