Kari, Mimi, and Jane made the trip from Jungle Friends to Los Angeles, CA for the Animal Rights National Conference yesterday morning. They have come prepared with plenty of monkey art, cards, DVDs and other goodies to raise money and attract donations for the sanctuary. So far at the conference, they have attended workshops to learn about the troubles animals face and how everyone can help! Throughout the day, one of the Jungle Friends team has been at the sanctuary's display informing visitors about Jungle Friends, the monkeys, and how they can help the sanctuary enrich the lives of these retired research monkeys and past pets (and receive some monkey art in return). On Saturday, Kari will be presenting our
"Broken Bonds" trailer at the conference to attract anyone who could help put the documentary together. Also, on Sunday, Kari will be presenting "Running a Sanctuary" to those who are interested at the conference.
Guess who joined Kari and Mimi on the flight to LA! Boo!!!
Volunteer Claude is here to help too!
The hotel has been very accommodating for the conferences furry friends.

Conference-goers visit for Boo, but they stay for the awesome monkey art!
Mario, and several other monkey artists, collaborated to create this beautiful piece of art that will be auctioned off this Saturday.
I'm sure that Broken Bonds will be picked up by somebody. It's too good a premise for a documentary!
ReplyDeleteJane! I had no idea you were going to the conference, too! Hope you guys are having fun. :)
