Love Day!

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

The chimp’s had a fantastic Valentine’s Day party! Two of our supporters, Robbi and Dick Brown, brought TONS of fabulous new toys including books, stuffed animals, a plastic shopping cart, new troll dolls, scarves, socks, and a red feather boa. We filled gift bags of various new toys and wrapped the rest in red wrapping paper. Stephanie Perciful, our morning volunteer, brought tons of goodies as well, including food, decorations, and a lips-shaped pinata! The theme of the day- RED! Almost all the food was red- including strawberries, raspberries, red bell peppers, peaches, red pears, plums, apples, and pear juice in cute little bottles Stephanie brought. Elizabeth put a few raspberries and strawberries in decorative muffin cups (beautiful touch!) and put bite sized pieces of fruit in festive bags that we scattered and hung from various places in the playroom. The chimps were SO excited! The playroom was decorated to the max! Thanks so much to Dick, Robbi, Stephanie and Shelley, Margaret, and Karen! You guys put on quite the party! Due to technical difficulties, I was unable to put a video together today, but I’ve posted a sneak peek of the food. I promise more to come tomorrow… :) Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day in honor of loved ones

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Valentine’s Day is all about love, so we have multiple Sponsor a Day dedications today. Today is in honor of Patty Clark, a wonderful friend and volunteer and in memory of Bill Clark from their daughter Shelley Winfrey, who also volunteers at the chimp house.

Today is also in memory of Eleanor Julia Talbot, beloved feline friend of volunteers Margaret and Karen.

Thank you, Shelley, Margaret and Karen for Sponsoring a Day of sanctuary for the Cle Elum Seven and remembering and honoring your loved ones on this day of love!
