The fourth annual toy drive was a success.
In order for the toys to be given out, the
monkeys are locked in a secure area, the
toys are then placed in their enclosures.
While this is happening, the monkeys are
pacing back and forth. When they are allowed
back into their enclosures, there are many
high pitched squeals of delight. The monkeys
love to call to their friends and neighbors.
Linda says, they seem to be saying, come and
get it, look at what I have. They are very
sharing animals. The monkeys received rattles,
trucks, busy boxes, an assortment of balls
and many other toys. Enough tennis balls were
received that every monkey was able to receive
one. Each enclosure received a basket ball as
well as large toys that more than one monkey
can enjoy. A box of blanket material was also
received. One way that this can be enjoyed is
by a monkey threading it through the top of the
enclosure, and sitting with it dangling down to
their shoulders. They also received some rubber
toys that have large hard plastic balls at the
ends and the middles glow when they are bounced.


If you need a gift idea, or would like to make a
fruit donation to the monkeys yourself, call
1-800-274-2677 and ask that a box of oranges,
apples or bananas be added to the weekly order
(every Monday) that Linda places. Payment can
be made directly, or you can make arrangements
with Linda 405-387-4354 or Linda@...
to have your payment sent to Mindy's.


If you would like to send the monkeys sunflower
seeds, you can visit http://www.nutsonline.com
or any other online store you prefer. Mindy's
usually orders 5 lb bags.


Mindy's could really use some volunteers.
The sanctuary is located in Newcastle,
Oklahoma. This is near Oklahoma City. If
you live in the area, or know someone that
would be interested in volunteering, please
call Linda at 405-387-4354. If she is not
available, there is an answering machine
for you to leave a message.


When you sponsor a monkey or make
a $25.00 donation you will receive a Flip
Album on CD You will view monkeys
playing, eating and socializing. This is
set to music

HOW YOU CAN HELP

For your convenience, donations can be made
online through Paypal by visiting the Mindy's
website http://www.mindysmem.org Click on
Meet Our Monkeys, for a one time donation,
click on either the monkeys name, or "Make a
Donation" near the top of the page. There are
other donation choices near the bottom of the
page. You can make a donation to the Building
Fund to help raise funds for housing future
residents. This fund was created when we were
not able to raise funds quickly enough to rescue
Ben and Norman before they were sold back into
research. You can also donate to the Mindy's
General Fund.


If you know an animal lover and don't know
what to give as a gift, we have the solution.
Send a donation in their name and a card will
be sent letting them know that you have made
the donation.
