Sippin’ 2011 Thanks

March 2, 2011 by Diana

Sippin’ for the Seven was a successful ($7270!) and fun event thanks to the following:

Kristi Payne of Vintage Vine – not enough praise can be bestowed on Kristi for arranging for the wineries and general planning for the past three Sippin’ events.

Rhett Humphrey, student at Central Washington University in the wine program and intern at Vintage Vine, orchestrated the volunteers for Sippin’ this year and did an absolutely fantastic job.

Swiftwater Cellars provided the beautiful venue for the evening. The sanctuary purchased delicious and wonderfully presented food from Chef Paul Cotta of Swiftwater Cellar’s Hoist House Restaurant.

Poppoff, Inc was the Associate Sponsor for this year’s event. You may recall that this wonderful company also helped with construction of our greenhouse way back in 2009/2010.

Abbott’s Printing, our go-to printers since the beginning, continue to be generous with their sponsorships of our events and gave a nice in-kind donation of printing in support of Sippin’ 2011 at the Chimpanzee Champion level.

Matthew Wenz of Wenz Creative designed the gorgeous posters, advertising cards and tasting booklets.

Participating wineries and breweries – this is what the night was all about! Thanks to Kristi, we had some terrific wineries represented by some terrific people. Check them ALL out: Cedergreen Cellars , Chandler Reach Vineyards, 
Chateau Ste Michelle , Chinook, 
Coyote Canyon Winery, 
Elegante Cellars,
 Gamache Vintners, 
Gard Vintners, 
Gilbert Cellars, 
Heymann Winery, 
Ironhorse Brewery , Jones of Washington, Kana Winery, Kestrel Vintners, 
Martinez & Martinez Winery , Mercer Cellars, NHV – Naches Heights Vineyard , Northwest Totem Cellars, 
Old Schoolhouse Brewery, 
Roslyn Brewing Company, Saint Laurent , Saviah, 
Steppe Cellars , SuLei Cellars , Swiftwater Cellars, Syncline Winery, Thurston Wolfe, 
Two Mountain Winery, 
Upland Estates, and Waters Winery

Coal Creek provided wonderful music as a perfect backdrop to the wine tasting.

Ron Sullivan Photography captured the evening (we’ll be sharing photos soon!).

The event volunteers really outdid themselves this year. Pam Lehnert, as usual, added her decorating and set-up touches to the evening, Rozsika Steele embellished some fedoras for our raffle ticket sellers, and the following volunteers all did a wonderful and professional job of making the event run smoothly: Kevin McPhee, Emily Miltko, Christina Broussard, Amy Gonzales, Sofi Bernstein, Nicole Tuson, Jaclyn Bourdon, Erin Johnson, Charlene Cline, Dave Cline, Margie Ferguson, Kate Daugherty, Janie Gibbons, Debbie Metzler, Alison Eglin, Rozsika Steele, Ryan Steele, C.J. Radawick, Max Murrey, Jody Mooney, Jessica Grigg, Jamie Davis, Frank Pangrazi and Bev Humphrey. Thank you all

And thanks to all attendees!

I hope you’ll join us next year on February 25th for Sippin’ for the Seven 2012! This is a really fun event and a great time to find new favorites then stock up on your wine and beer for the year – we’ll give you a deal next year in the wine store and proceeds for purchases all support the sanctuary!!

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!
