Viva Las Vegas! and a broken wrist mystery...
August 30, 2009
Dear Friends of Jungle Friends,
Calling all party animals! Are you ready to pack your bags and head for Vegas? The "Monkey Biz - Las Vegas" Art Exhibit and Fundraiser is right around the corner!
What a perfect excuse to plan a weekend in Vegas - just do it for the monkeys you love! Mark your calendars for September 25 & 26, and make plans now to go wild at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino. For more details and to order tickets for the VIP Friday night events (cocktail party, dinner and after party), visit the Monkey Biz Eventbrite page. On Saturday, the Monkey Art Exhibit is open to the public at no charge from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm... donations welcome, of course!
We also need your help gathering things for the silent auction and raffles at the event. If you have any items you would like to offer, we would surely appreciate it! Please ship auction/raffle contributions to:

I just need a few more fingers... or a tail!

You might be wondering now why it's been so long since your last Jungle News... and why Kari isn't writing to you herself. Well, that's partly because of all the work and planning and painting for the Vegas event... partly because she's learned about Facebook (and wants you to be her friend!)... and partly because the bright purple cast on her arm makes it really hard to type! I'm sorry to tell you, our founder and fearless leader has broken her wrist. Ouch!
And how did that happen, you're now wondering? Well, you might have heard that Kari lost her grip while brachiating through Thunderdome with Goldie. Nope, that's not it. Or could it be that she fell out of a tree while playing chase with Clyde? Nope, guess again.
Goldie hangs out in Thunderdome
without Kari.
