Karen’s Honorary Birthday Party
Monday, August 30th, 2010Missy’s Birthday
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Today we celebrated Missy’s 35th Birthday. What a great day! We set the party up first thing this morning and scattered tons of gift bags of goodies from Dick and Robbi, and set up a forage of oranges, peaches, carrots, frozen cantaloupe, and “night bags” (or “breakfast bags”, if you will) of sunflower seeds, which were hidden inside the gift bags. The chimps loved the party and were in excellent moods for the duration of the day!
If you are friends with Missy or any of the Cle Elum Seven chimps on Facebook, you might have seen posts this morning about another birthday fundraiser. It’s not too late to participate- send us a $35 donation and I’ll email a special gift to you and a friend (be sure to put your friend’s email in the gift note section of the donation form). She’s celebrating with her friends, why don’t you celebrate with a friend as well?!

Argh!
Monday, August 16th, 2010In case you haven’t heard through all of the chimps’ Facebook status updates (yes, each chimp has their own FB page, which can be found through this link), thanks to volunteer Stephanie Perciful, the chimps had a pirate-themed party yesterday. What an awesome idea! Stephanie did an awesome job (as usual) collecting pirate-themed enrichment for the chimps, so the playroom was covered in buried treasures (e.g. gold beaded necklaces) and skulls and crossbones. Thanks, Steph!

Foxie’s party post #2
Sunday, August 8th, 2010We put out tons of mirrors today because Foxie sometimes makes good use of them. But Jody was the one excited about them this morning!
I was very excited to capture this angle:
It’s not too late to make a $34 donation in Foxie’s honor today – you’ll get something fun in your inbox in return!
Celebrate!
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Yesterday, CSNW reached 2,000 fans on Facebook! We thought this was cause for celebration, so we threw an impromptu dinner party for the chimps. On the menu: whole watermelons, coconuts, tomatoes, plums, grapes, romaine lettuce, berries, and hemp milk. Everyone had a fantastic time — especially Jody, as you’ll see in the video.
Thanks for the support everyone, and check us out on Facebook if you haven’t already!
Fourth of July Celebration
Monday, July 5th, 2010Yesterday got a little hectic, as often happens when working with chimps, so we decided to postpone our Fourth of July Celebration until today. Brandon Wood (check out his blog!), our amazing 9-year-old supporter, sponsored our party in honor of supporter Theresa Strunk’s birthday (surprise, Theresa!). He sent this awesome box of goodies for the party.
We feel horrible we couldn’t do the party on her actual birthday, but hopefully we’re making up for it now! It was a great party!
For the forage, we set out blue cups filled with red Gatorade and soy milk (red, white, and blue!)
And Brandon found this awesome Elmo pinata, which we filled with cherries and nuts!
…which Jamie, of course, thoroughly enjoyed!
But Jody managed to steal a few of the last bites. :)
Brandon also sent several Kong toys, which I filled with peanut butter. Annie LOVED it!
Thanks again, Brandon! And Happy (belated) Birthday, Theresa!! :)
Negra’s Birthday Party
Monday, June 14th, 2010Yesterday was such a wonderful day! Thank you so much to everyone who made the day possible! CSNW has the best supporters and volunteers!
Spring is here
Monday, April 5th, 2010The chimpanzees loved their Easter/spring party yesterday. On the menu: baby carrots, tomatoes, mini cucumbers, chow biscuits, nuts, strawberries, blackberries, greens, bread, limes, popcorn, homemade banana chips, oranges, egg rolls, and pomegranate juice. Thanks to friends Robbi, Dick, and Stephanie for making this extravaganza possible!
