Happy Halloween!
From new boots to pomegranates; from pears, apples, and green onions, to grapes, oranges, and pineapple coconut juice; from pinatas to new troll dolls; yesterday may have been the most exciting party at CSNW to date. The food squeaks lasted for at least 30 minutes! It was quite a day!
In addition to the video, I thought I would post a couple of my personal favorite pictures from the party– but FYI, they aren’t the ones saved for $33 donations in honor of Jamie’s day! Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

A new doll for Foxie
When Foxie gets a new doll that she really loves, she often engages in what I’ll call “ritualistic adoration behavior” (don’t quote me on that — I just made it up). You’ll see what I mean when you watch this video that Jackie put together:
Today in honor of Pam Lehnert
Happy day, Pam! Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest celebrates you today, thanks to your friend Jill. The humans and chimpanzees appreciate everything you do for them every day!
Blog readers and event-goers should remember Pam for her ability to transform a space into something spectacular – she’s done it for our auction 2 years in a row now. In addition to her beyond-creative event set-up, she helped with procurement, organizing all of the donor files, writing and editing parts of the catalog, and just about every aspect of the auction. That $100,000 would not have been a reality without her help. So, thank you, Pam and a big, big Happy Birthday to you.
I know Pam admires Jody’s ability to relax, so here’s a photo of Jody in one of her “yoga poses:”

Annie and Missy have such a special friendship.
Will you be my huckleberry?
On Saturday, volunteer Connie brought huckleberry plants for the chimps- what fun enrichment! Here are a couple of the shots J.B. got of Annie enjoying hers out in the sunshine:
