Painting of the chimpanzee of your choice and/or a four course meal!

May 17, 2009 by Diana

CSNW supporters never cease to impress me with their dedication and creativity! If you are a subscriber to our e-newsletter, you saw that we have set a goal of raising $7,000 by the end of June to celebrate the first anniversary of the chimpanzees arrival to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. We’ve chosen to celebrate Negra’s birthday on that day too. Her release to sanctuary means so much to her and to all of us, so we’re asking our supporters to help us raise the $7,000 (and “secretly” hoping we can exceed that goal). Check out our help us fundraise page for details.

A few people have taken on the fun task of creating their own unique fundraising page.

Nicole’s already received some donations through her fundraising page which she is promoting through Facebook – yay!

Margaret has offerred to paint a portrait of the chimpanzee of your choice for a donation of $700!! Below is a photo of a painting Margaret did of Jody. I can’t say enough about this painting – she really captured the vibrancy of Jody’s spirit, and seeing it in person is no comparison to seeing the photo. I am personally very tempted to donate just to get a painting (of Negra) for myself – but I’ll give you all a chance first. Visit her page for more details: www.firstgiving.com/margaretparkinson

Pam’s fundraising page reveals that she is offerring to cook a four course meal and deliver it to donors in Seattle who give through her page by June 8th. She’s going to be cooking food that she has also made for the chimps (Pam is one of the chimps’ personal chefs – we call her the Martha Stewart of the chimp house volunteers). Below is a photo of one of the many meals she has made for the Cle Elum Seven. You may also remember photos of her Valentine’s Day treats. Visit her page for details on what she will cook for you! www.firstgiving.com/pamlehnert

And, now that you’re inspired, create your own page through Firstgiving!

Foxie and the paparazzi

May 15, 2009 by Diana

Today I felt a bit like a chimpanzee sanctuary paparazzi. This first set of photos shows Foxie yawning – I just thought they were cute. The second though are spy-like photos of Foxie lying in a nest!! I was at the chimp house late and I caught her in an actual chimp nest (sheets and all!) way up in the corner of the catwalk. This is very exciting. If there were a chimpanzee sanctuary tabloid, I think the Foxie nesting photos would make the cover.

Get ready for it – the first real photos of Foxie settling down into a comfy nest of sheets. I don’t know if she made the nest or was borrowning one that someone else made.

She caught me taking photos, but didn’t seem to mind.

I know this is blurry, but sometimes that’s all we sanctuary paparazzi can get. Foxie is holding a troll doll in her left hand and a long-handled brush in her right.

Jody’s birthday / Mother’s Day

May 8, 2009 by Diana

Personally, I’m having a difficult time with the fact that it’s already May, but I’m really happy for the Spring weather (at least today Cle Elum has Spring weather) and for Jody’s birthday on Sunday!! If you are subscriber to our e-newsletter, or if you’ve noticed our new Mother’s Day tribute page on our site, or if you’re a member of the Chimp Sanctuary Supporters social network, then you know that we are celebrating Jody’s birthday on Mother’s Day, which is this Sunday, May 10th.

A recent look at her file revealed that Jody had at least nine babies born to her and taken away from her during her years as a biomedical test subject. It’s hard to fathom. She deserves a big day of celebration focused on her favorite things (which today was a long blue sock), and that’s what we will give her. Thanks to those have already acknowledged her day and donated for Jody and the mothers in your lives.

New hat for Jamie

April 28, 2009 by Diana

We received a package of hand knit scarves and hats for the chimps the other day from a supporter in Georgia. In addition to a really sweet card, she also sent some packets of seeds since she won’t be able to attend next Tuesday’s Stand-up for Chimps comedy night in Seattle (have you bought your tickets yet?)

Jamie wore one of the scarves during the early morning and one of the hats as soon as we gave them to her. Below is Jamie with a blue hat. Pretty stylish, I would say.

Jody and Foxie playing

April 25, 2009 by Diana

J.B. was hanging some more firehose yesterday – this time in the playroom. As Jody was watching, Foxie decided to start a game of wrestle and chase with Jody.
