Jennifer helps outfit an Enclosure

Jennifer has been an
integral part of the PPS Team for the past 8 years. She and her daughter Lauren
spent 5 years as animal caretaker volunteers, from 2004-2009. When Lauren went off to college,
Jennifer discontinued doing animal care, and became a member of the PPS Board
of Directors, acting as our Secretary.
Unfortunately, Jennifer will be moving to the mainland in just a few
short weeks, and she will be greatly missed!
She
writes: “I wish…the Sanctuary all the best. It is truly one of the most
wonderful organizations that I have had the pleasure to be associated with.” Jennifer
has agreed to remain on our Advisory Board, to continue to provide support.
Pacific
Primate Sanctuary Board of Directors and Advisory Board
The PPS Board of Directors held a meeting on Friday March
23, 2012. During this meeting, we
made several exciting new changes to the Board of Directors, as well as our
Advisory Board.

Current PPS Board of Directors: Erin, Linda, Lucy,
Bud, Jakob & Advisory Board member, Jennifer
|
We would like to welcome
our newest Board member, Jakob. With a business and law degree, Jakob will be a
very valuable addition to our Board.
Thank you Jakob for taking time out of your busy law practice to join
the Board and participate in PPS administration. We have also elected
Operations Manager, Erin, as the new Secretary. Ari-Jon, PPS website writer and
IT volunteer over the past 15 years, was elected to serve on our Advisory
Board. Thank you to our new Board
Members, the next generation, for stepping up to support the Sanctuary.
Honoring

Long-time
supporters, Joel and Liliana, recently suffered the loss of Sebastian, the
capuchin monkey who they loved and cared for over the last 12 years. They have
donated $500 to the Sanctuary in honor of Sebastian. We are grateful for their
generous contribution, which helps us continue to provide a place of peace and
healing for the monkeys who have found a home at Pacific Primate Sanctuary.
Words of Appreciation for PPS
“If I can
help, I am happy to do so. It is small recompense for the peace and joy I
feel knowing you are all there caring for the monkeys.” — Barry,
PPS Supporter
Thank you
to Barry, Bruce and Anne for funding the installation of rain gutters on the
Marmoset and Tamarin extension— keeping the monkeys’ sleeping houses dry when
it rains!

PPS Internship
The
resident Internship program at Pacific Primate Sanctuary began in
2004. We have had more than 25 Interns over the past 8 years and the curriculum
has deepened and expanded over time. This mutually beneficial program has
provided a unique and valuable learning experience for the Interns, and
exceptional animal care for the primates at the Sanctuary. Each Intern who
comes to the Sanctuary brings with them a unique set of skills and knowledge
along with fresh eyes. This allows
the staff to continually learn and improve the care of the animals!
As the Internship has grown and expanded, so has the number
of highly qualified candidates who apply for this coveted position. Recently, we have had an abundance of
exemplary applicants, and are so pleased to welcome more and more skilled
people to the PPS Team!
Resident Interns are given extensive training and the
opportunity to become Primary Animal Caregivers, and are vital to the
functioning of the Sanctuary. The
Internship program is made possible by the generous donations of compassionate
supporters. Please help us
continue to provide housing, utilities and supplies to our Resident Interns.
