Happy Birthday, Ellen!

by

Today was sponsored by Margaret Lunnum in honor of her mother, Ellen’s, birthday.  Margaret shared the following sentiments for her mother:  “I would like to thank my mom, Ellen, who turns 90 today for putting up with me for 66 years. She has been my best listener and advice giver. She counts my four legged and two winged critters as her grandchildren. She also appreciates my interest in and love for the Cle Elum Seven.”  Margaret and Ellen, thank you so much for sharing such a special day with the chimpanzees!  Have a wonderful day, Ellen!

Thank you, Jordan!

by

Today was also generously sponsored by Jordan Bower, who shared the following message: “I am making this donation to honor the Cle Elum Seven’s Caregivers (paid and volunteer) for all of their tireless efforts of love and commitment. Without you Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy and Negra would not have the wind in their hair, yummy food in their tummies or love for their souls. Thank you.” Jordan, thank you so much for your kind words.  And thank you Jordan, and all of our supporters, for enabling us to give the chimpanzees hope, love, home and sanctuary.

Happy Anniversary CSNW from Tracy!

by

Today was sponsored by Tracy Headley.  Tracy was the first person to respond to our Give Five Day campaign and chose to sponsor this very special day in honor of our 5 year anniversary.  We have so much to celebrate today because not only is it the sanctuary’s anniversary, it is also our beloved Queen Negra’s 40th birthday!  None of which would be possible without the support of so many wonderful people.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful start to the day, Tracy!  And speaking of our amazing supporters, we also have a second sponsor for today which will be posted after the celebrations get under way!
