The CSNW staff lost a friend today. This afternoon we received a call from our friends at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) in nearby Ellensburg to let us know that Dar passed away this morning. All of our staff worked with the family of chimpanzees at CHCI during our time there as graduate students studying primate behavior. Dar was a big, goofy, gentle giant who loved babies, games of chase, and endless somersaults. He had a sweet freckled face and huge floppy ears that he never quite grew into. We will miss him terribly. Learn more about Dar here.
Thanks, Mom and Dad, for sponsoring today in memory of Dar.

Mary Ann Baltich has sponsored today in honor of Anne Roberson and Patti Sims. Anne and Patti are coworkers and friends who are both longtime supporters of the chimpanzees, and this year they started volunteering together at the sanctuary. Mary Ann said, “Thanksgiving seems like an appropriate time to thank them for all the work they do and support they provide!”
We’re thankful today for Mary Ann’s generosity, and for all the love and support Anne and Patti have shared with us and with the Cle Elum Seven!

Today is sponsored by Charlotte Coulbert. Sponsoring a day is such a great way to help care for the Cle Elum Seven from afar, and we are so lucky to have incredibly generous supporters like Charlotte.
Thanks, Charlotte, for helping to keep Annie’s arms full of Brussels sprouts.

Anne Woodward has sponsored today in memory of Deborah Silber, who passed away one year ago. Anne says that Deborah loved all animals and loved that there is a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in biomedical research. We happen to be setting up for a big party right now in honor of Halloween and Jamie’s birthday, and we will be celebrating Deborah too! Thanks, Anne.

Jill Estep has sponsored today in honor of her friend Pam Lehnert’s birthday. What a nice gift!
Pam, as many of you know, has been involved with Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest for a long time. She and her husband Marc attended the open house we had before the chimpanzees arrived in 2008. She’s contributed countless hours, in kind gifts, and creative ideas to make the sanctuary’s events a success. Our events literally wouldn’t be the same without all of Pam’s hard work.
Today, however, the chimps and her friend Jill want Pam to take some time off and enjoy her birthday, whether that’s by savoring her favorite foods or running with abandon. Let Missy be an inspiration – she manages to do both at the same.

Ashley Gardner also sponsored today for the Cle Elum Seven. She says, “I am a vegan and love all animals. I think Chimpanzee Sanctuary NW is a great organization.” Thanks so much, Ashley!
