We would like to welcome the new members
to Monkey Tales.

If you would like to receive the Mindy's Memory
Primate Sanctuary Newsletter that is sent out
quarterly, please send you mailing address to
Linda@...


This issue will introduce you to Riki.

Riki is a 6 year old Java Macaque who arrived
in July 2005. He was driven to Mindy's from
Illinois by his previous owner. His favorite
vegetables are baked potatoes, sweet potatoes
and green peppers. He loves all fruits and
does not appear to have a favorite. Riki loves
playing with any kind of a toy that has a
mirror in it.


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 contact Linda at
405-387-4354. If she is unavailable, there is an
answering machine for you to leave a message.


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

WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE
OF TWO WEBSITES THAT YOU CAN VISIT ON
A DAILY BASIS AND WITH A SIMPLE CLICK YOU
CAN DONATE FOOD TO SOME HUNGRY PRIMATES.

Join Care2.com's Race for the Primates
http://primates.care2.com where on a daily
basis you can help protect chimpanzees,
gorillas, bonobos and other endangered
primates supported by the Jane Goodall
Institute. By registering you can keep
track of your own donations as well as
invite friends to join the race. While
there, you can also participate in races
to Save Baby Seals, The Oceans, Big Cats,
The Rainforest, Pets In Need, Children In
Need and Stop Violence.

At RedJellyFish http://www.redjellyfish.com
a simple click allows you to donate food to
a hungry primate. While there, you can also
preserve The Rainforest.


HOW YOU CAN HELP

When shopping online, please check to see if
the store you will be making your purchases
from is listed at http://www.igive.com If it
is and you choose Mindy's as your charity
of choice the sanctuary will receive a portion
of your purchase donated, at no cost to you.
The amount donated varies by store.


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 you
can click on either the monkeys name, or "Make
A Donation" near the top of the page. Near the
bottom of the page, there are other donation
choices. 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. A card will be
sent letting them know that you have made
the donation.
