MacBook update

by

Are you ready? We now have $1,225 pledged or received towards the MacBook Pro! The current price on our amazon.com wish list is $1,705.99, which means we only need $481 to make the purchase!

Big, big thanks to Candy Crannell for spearheading this fundraising and making a large pledge yesterday, and to Kathy B., Gayle, Leslie, Theresa, Catherine M., Jeani, and Pam!

Consider joining this group of supporters. You’ll keep the blog going strong by replacing our dying computer in the chimp house. You can mail a check (PO Box 952, Cle Elum, WA) or donate online. Just send me a quick email: [email protected] or leave a comment on this post to let me know your pledge.

We’re close!

Chimps enjoy a slide show, and so will you soon!

by

Kathy C., who you may recall recently donated a new telephoto camera lens, is working on a photo slide show of the Cle Elum Seven. The slideshow is set to music and has LOTS of photos. We’ll have it for sale in our store once it is ready and we’ve made copies!! Kathy gave us a preview and we were so excited, we decided we should show it to the chimps themselves to see what they thought. They loved it!

We did not receive an money from Apple for this promotion of their laptop – maybe we should think about that…

Foxie and Jamie watching slide show. Foxie has a big paper wadge in her mouth – wadging is a natural behavior sort of like dipping tobacco without the chemicals and addiction. Chimps in the wild wadge with leaves. In captivity they use various things. Jamie, of course, is wearing a scarf.
