76 Years and Never Stronger!

Last month at our Seventy-Sixth anniversary event we gave away 2,000 cups of Grandpa Don’s Root Beer Float ice cream. 1,500 of those were in the store and our Delivery Team took another 500 to our Business Clients! It is always a blast to see multiple generations creating memories during their visits to us. This year was extra special being able to share that with the fourth generation of Jerrol’s, my Niece Amy McClelland, who joined our Team in April after managing Bright Side Books in Flagstaff, AZ for the past five years.

She is now leading our Frontline Sales Team, so you will be seeing more of her and a little less of me not that I am going anywhere. I continue to love my “job” and have no intentions of leaving anytime soon. Although when the time comes I know the future of Jerrol now in good hands.

And speaking of seeing me, Amy instigated a Dress Like Rolf day the only issue I had is they have too much hair!

#2 - Improve

Our anniversary events have always been a chance to catch up with past Team members and Clients. This year was no exception. Shelby Holloway stopped by, she spent the summer in 2010 alphabetizing books. Several people I graduated from high school with some 40 years ago and haven't seen since stopped by as well. Here are a couple of photos taken during the celebration.

“We believe in continuous improvement through empowered Team members and their Teams making 100% improvements everyday”

Celebrating Disability Pride Month

From artist and curator Bex Ollerton comes an anthology featuring comics from thirty autistic creators about their experiences of living in a world that doesn’t always understand or accept them. $19.99 paperback

A Day With No Words

This wonderfully illustrated picture book successfully normalizes communication methods outside of verbal speech and provides representation of neurodiversity and autism in a way that affirms and celebrates. $17.99 hardcover

You, Me, and Our Heartstrings

After their holiday duet goes viral, the rest of the country falls for them just as surely as they're falling for each other. But viral fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Community Close-Up

By Brook Buckingham

We have the privilege of helping an eclectic group of folks throughout the county including businesses, artists, students, teachers, parents and all manner of primates! The incredible crew at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in Cle Elum, count on Jerrol’s to help them care for their group of 16 chimpanzees and four bovine.

The sanctuary gets gloves, paper products and cleaning supplies from Jerrol’s and we’re happy to play a small role in the care of these amazing animals.

Did you know that Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, or CSNW, is one of just a handful of sanctuaries in the country that cares for Chimpanzees. It was founded in 2003 to rescue chimps abandoned by the entertainment and biomedical testing industries.

CSNW also provides sanctuary to three rescued cows and one steer.

All 16 chimpanzees at the sanctuary enjoy an engaging space with an indoor and outdoor area and a rich social life.

You can follow along with Terry, Rayne, Lucky, Gordo, Dora, Cy, Honey B, Mave, Willy B, Annie, Burrito, Foxy, Jamie, Jodie, Missy and Negra through the sanctuary’s blog: https://chimpsnw.org/blog/

You’ve got to check out the video of Burrito riding a skateboard! It will make your day.

And if you’d like to help the sanctuary continue with their incredible work, please visit their donation page: https:// chimpsnw.org/donate/

Rolf’s Monthly Office Tips Whiteboard Cleaning Hacks

If you need to clean your dry-erase board in a hurry, there are some household items you can use to clean your board. Here are the most effective household items you can use to clean a whiteboard: What Cleans Dry Erase Boards:

•Hand sanitizer

•Rubbing alcohol

•Non-acetone nail polish

remover

•Peroxide

•Hairspray

•Vinegar

•WD-40

You want to be careful with window cleaners like Windex. They work on porcelain and glass white boards but will damage whiteboards made with melamine, which are the most common.

Supplies:

*Containers from around the house (I used a milk jug, fabric softener bottle, iced coffee container and a whipping cream pint. You could also use an empty toilet paper roll or a jar)

*Paint

(I used spray paint and regular craft paint)

*Glue

(I used hot glue as well as some modge podge)

*Decorations

(I used pipe cleaners, foam cut into leaf shapes, glitter, dried flowers, and real leaves from my yard)

These Fairy Houses were a first for me and lots of fun. I can't wait to put them in my garden. (Hopefully my dogs won't chew them up) And who knows maybe we'll catch a fairy! Happy summer guys!
