In memory of Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty

by

Today was sponsored by Joan O’Flaherty in memory of her parents, Ned and Noreen, and their anniversary. Ned and Noreen cared deeply for animals and the environment. Joan has been honoring and celebrating her parents on their anniversary and their shared birthday for many years now and we couldn’t be more honored to be included in such special memories.

Joan, thank you so much for continuing to include the chimps in your life and your heart as you celebrate and cherish your parents’ memory. We are so grateful to you for the lasting difference you make in the chimps’ lives. Our thoughts are with you and your family today.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Kelsi and about two weeks ago I started as the new part-time caregiver at CSNW. I am originally from Washington State and went to college at Central Washington University in Ellensburg where I majored in Primate Behavior & Ecology and Psychology. I was a caregiver at the Fauna Foundation in Quebec, Canada for about two years and just recently returned back to the United States! As a new staff member at CSNW, I am just now starting to learn how to work with the sanctuary’s camera. Today was my first trial run taking photos of the Cle Elum 7, so please  continue to follow me on my journey and see my photography improve over time!

The chimpanzees know that any good party is really about the food. In celebration of today’s holiday, we had a lunch party in the greenhouse and the chimps feasted on Field Roast (a really delicious vegetarian “meat” made from grains and veggies), corn, watermelon, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and sparkling apple cider.
