inside NWEA NWEA Anniversary Celebration After visiting the Nocturnal House, where they watched bush babies and armadillos and looked for "Fatty," the slow lorus, children saw wallabies and emus, and learned about wolves, porcupines, and grizzly bears at NWEA's Anniversary Celebration at the Woodland Park Zoo. Rose Oliver Wild Animals "This was truly a great event. A great auction, wonderful party, and good speakers. Probably the best fundraiser I've been to." —a satisfied NWEA supporter On June 3rd at the Woodland Park Zoo, Northwest Ecosystem Alliance held a 15th Anniversary Celebration, where supporters of the Loomis Forest and Cascades Conservation Partnership campaigns got to catch up and renew their involvement in Northwest Ecosystem Alliance. The 305 guests at the event helped NWEA raise, after costs, more than $50,000 for our work protecting Pacific Northwest forests and wildlife. Longtime members as well as new supporters of NWEA first mingled on the sunny patio with wine and appetizers while bidding on more than 130 silent auction items. Children had their faces painted with visages of wild animals and encouraged their parents to bid on some amazingly lifelike animal puppets. During dinner, table guests bid on native plant centerpieces, and each table competed for best dessert during the "dessert dash." After dinner, the children were escorted on a private zoo tour; they then relaxed with coloring time during an icecream sundae bar. Back inside the Rainforest Pavilion, NWEA founder and director Mitch Friedman Volunteer thanks Special thanks to the many on this list who helped make our 15th anniversary event at the Woodland Park Zoo June 3 a smashing success! Paul Reed, Jennifer Knight, and Lynda Kamerrer were the shining stars for the auction portion of the event. The NWEA staff thanks all of our volunteers who dedicate substantial time and energy to Northwest Ecosystem Alliance. We couldn't keep the Northwest wild without you. 24 Northwest Ecosystem Alliance Steve Abercrombie Mike Adams Paul Anderson Lindsey Antos Elaine Babby Paul Balle Paul Bannick John Barnard Emily Barnett Chris Beamis Keri Bean Kenan Block Jeffrey Jon Bode' Janice Borrow Jim Borrow Kristen Boyles Jennifer Brana Paul Brookshire Peggy Brown Clint Burt Kate Burton Joni Cameron Tom Campion Todd Carey Jonathon Cerar Ant Chapin Andy Chinn Mark Christiansen Barbara Christensen Terry Clark Michael Colfer Chelsea Combest Carrie Cooper Craig Cooper Amy Dameron Sidonie DeCassis William Donnelly Jamie Dulfer Ben Eilers Todd Elsworth Andrea Faste Doris Ferm Scott Fields Demis Foster Keith Fredrickson Dawn Gauthier Stacey Glenewinkel Darcy Goelz Don Goodman Natala Goodman Jennifer Harmon Mary Kay Harmon Steve Harper Ryan Harried Doe Hatfield Stephen Hatfield Paul Hezel Michael Hinkel Eric Hirst Roger Hull Roger Iverson Cindy Jackson Sego Jackson Carol James Amber Johnson Lynda Kamerrer Andrew Kirkby Jennifer Knight Peter Kobzan Michael Koenen Henry Lagergren Sandi Lauer www.ecosystem.org Laura Livingston Alex Loeb Corey Long Beth Louden Sue Madsen Tess Mahoney Andrew McCoy Megan McGinty Tom McNeely Rebecca Meredith Kaitrin Millar Jasmine Minbashian Tina Mirable Andrew Morgan Daniel Morgan Devon Musgrave Christine Nasser Blair Nelson Jordan Norris Zoe O'Neill Nikken Palesch Thomas Palm Pete Palmer Sue Parrot John Pearch Phil Perdue Selah Prather Tom Pratum Letha Radebaugh Kathryn Ravenwood Paul Reed Wendy Reilly Alan Rhodes Susan Rhodes Nathan Rice Nancy Ritzenthaler Jo Roberts Melissa Roberts Marissa Rosati Oliver Ross Elizabeth Rothman Ron Rundus Ann Russell Matthew Scholtz Jared Scott Travis Scott Scott Shaffer Jessica Shepherd Michael Shepherd Mark Skatrud Alicia Smith Alan Soicher Betsy Statler Jeff Stewart Will Sumner Shelley Sutton Sean Sweeney Lucy Uhlig Marc Uhlig Denise Urness James Varner Jeannine Wallach Bjorn Wanwig Chris Warner Jen Watkins Alex Wenger Ken Wilcox Stephanie Williams Kathy Wilson Steve Wilson Laura Wolf Tim Wood
