Sippin’ for the Seven

by

Tickets are flowing for March 6th Sippin’ for the Seven wine (and beer) tasting fundraiser in Roslyn. Buy tickets online today or purchase them in person with cash or check at smith exhibits in Roslyn. Tickets are just $35 and include a Jody logo wine glass, wine and beer tastings, nibbles, music by Lenny Price and Millie Radonovich and the chance to meet sanctuary staff and volunteers.

This event was great last year, and will be even greater this year! New this year – a raffle available at the event with an exclusive visit to the sanctuary as the grand prize. All profits made from ticket sales and the sale of wine and beer to take home will directly benefit the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees. For more info, see our event page.  Check out the event on Facebook and be sure to sent invites to your FB friends.

Valentine’s Day in honor of loved ones

by

Valentine’s Day is all about love, so we have multiple Sponsor a Day dedications today. Today is in honor of Patty Clark, a wonderful friend and volunteer and in memory of Bill Clark from their daughter Shelley Winfrey, who also volunteers at the chimp house.

Today is also in memory of Eleanor Julia Talbot, beloved feline friend of volunteers Margaret and Karen.

Thank you, Shelley, Margaret and Karen for Sponsoring a Day of sanctuary for the Cle Elum Seven and remembering and honoring your loved ones on this day of love!

Tool modification

by

A few weeks ago, before J.B.’s recent post on tool use, I took several minutes of video of Jamie attempting to get a piece of chow just out of reach in the front rooms. I condensed the video a bit to show the highlights. There are a couple of things that Jamie does in the video that just make her all-around cool as well as demonstrate the intelligence of chimpanzees.

Kids helping chimpanzees

by

Chimpanzees are lucky to have some very dedicated young people who are speaking out on their behalf. Nine year old Brandon Wood recently sent the Cle Elum Seven a care package all the way from Florida. Not just any care package, though – the most colorful care package we’ve ever received!

Box from Brandon

Brandon also recently sent a package to our chimpanzee friends at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute and has been raising money for Save the Chimps. It’s inspiring and uplifting to see such dedication and caring in someone so young. Please visit Brandon’s blog to learn more about him and his work to make the world a better place: http://makeachimpsmile.blogspot.com/ and follow him on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Makeachimpsmile. Thanks, Brandon!
