Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary for primates.
1st pretty thing: Have you noticed the redesigned CSNW website!! High five to Clocktower Media for helping us bring the Cle Elum Seven to the world!
2nd pretty thing: We have SO many amazing items for the Celebrate the Seven Oct. 2nd auction. I promise to share more about this in the coming weeks. Today’s auction item sneak peak is a one-of-a-kind wallet with Foxie’s photo on it with a $50 gift certificate inside. Take a look on the Laura Bee Designs blog. Thanks, Laura!
Hey everyone, to continue with our holiday shopping initiative, all of the businesses in Portland’s vegan mini-mall are giving a percentage of their proceeds today, all day. If you’re not in Portland, there’s still a chance to help out by shopping at Food Fight and Herbivore online. Food Fight Vegan Grocery has an amazing selection of vegan grocery products and miscellany. My favorites include Tings, Sjaak’s Organic Truffles, Sheese all the way from Scotland (I like the cheddars), Ener-G Egg Replacer for baking. Oh – Sarah recently made meringue cookies and “accidentally” made whipped cream out of the Meringue Cookie Mix – both were out-of-the-world good. They even have crazy stuff like vegan haggis and cavier. I think you get the point – Food Fight has some really great stuff for all people who like food.
Herbivore Clothing has awesome clothing and accessories and also many, many books. I love the Herbivore bunny, which they have on three different shirts. They have really great barrettes, belts, luggage tags, necklaces, bags and wallets – including coin purses made by our friend Laura Bee! And the books – wow! Because I’m so focused on food – I’ll recommend a couple of my favorite cookbooks: Buddha’s Table (Thai food!), Veganomicon (the best all-around cookbook there is), and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. There are lots more, a few that I will now purchase since part of the money will go to our chimpanzee friends.
Happy Shopping 🙂
Laura Bee Designs in Ballard is having a holiday shopping day for Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest today from 10am-6pm. They are giving the Cle Elum Seven 20% of sales for the day! Laura Bee makes fun and unique animal-friendly bags and accessories and lets you customize them! There are so many cool things to buy and create for yourself and as gifts for others at this store – you really should check it out in person, and do it today to help the sanctuary! You can see more about this shopping day and others on our help us fundraise page.
We have a lot of stuff going on to support the Cle Elum Seven – I hope you can join us for these upcoming happenings:
Tuesday, October 7th: If you’re in the Seattle area, come to comedy night this Tuesday! Doors open at 8:00pm, and you can rsvp now using Evite. You can meet Keith, J.B. and myself. You can laugh up a storm. And you can buy some prints of Jamie’s artwork, as well as cards that have prints of a watercolor of Jody that Margaret painted! If you caught the interview on the radio this morning, you learned all about Yoram Bauman “the stand-up economist” and his Non-Profit Comedy Nights at Seattle’s Comedy Underground. It’s bound to be a lot of fun and it will raise needed funds to help care for the Cle Elum Seven. UPDATE: THIS SHOW IS FOR 21+ ONLY – a new decision by the state liquor board.
Sunday, October 12th: Our first Holiday Shopping event is happening at the Freemont store Urban Weeds. 25% of all purchases on the 12th will go towards CSNW. If you’ve never been to this cool urban gardening store, visit their website then visit the store on the 12th.
Saturday, October 18th: Wild Birds Unlimited in Monroe, WA is donating 10% of their profits for the day. This store is a must-visit for all bird enthusiasts, and a great place to pick up gifts for the backyard birders in your life.
Saturday, October 25th: 20% of sales from the Seattle store Laura Bee Designs will be donated to the sanctuary. Laura Bee has all kinds of unique, stylish and customizable handbags and accessories. A perfect place to pick up unique gifts! Check out Laura Bee’s recent blog post featuring Negra!
