Liverpool Legends
Returns in 2014
After the success of the Washington County
SPCA’s first major fundraising event in 2013, the
organizers decided to invite Liverpool Legends back
for another show in 2014.
This year all the sponsors and VIP guests were treated to
the “Lava Lounge” party before the concert started. Shawna
Cornelius turned the Lyon Gallery in the Community Center
into a hip 3D experience. Lava lamps and period decor were
only trumped by the tapestries that lined the gallery walls.
With 3D glasses these tapestries helped guests get into the
groove.
The 2014 concert was even more successful than the previous year and we look forward to future fundraising events.

McDonald Estate Left to the WCSPCA
In the fall of 2013, the WCSPCA was notified that it
was the sole beneficiary of the Donna Jean McDonald
estate. Dawnette Brady, Interim Director, said, “We were
all overwhelmed by this news. Each year we struggle to
make ends meet. Our long range financial plan involves
setting gifts like this aside. The income from these gifts
will provide a stable return and the ability to continue
providing the services we do for Washington County.”
The home of Mrs McDonald was just part of the estate.
Former WCSPCA Board Member, Chris Hester says, “It

was truly an honor to have the opportunity to help the
shelter. When I heard that the McDonald home was being
donated, I felt that providing the “listing” at no cost to
the shelter was just the right thing to do.” Owners and
management of Chinowth & Cohen were honored to
market & sell the property saving the WCSPCA any seller’s
listing commission. “We knew this would greatly assist
with funding for the Phase I facility under construction
at the WCSPCA’s new property. This building is just a
few yards away from the Bartlesville Chinowth & Cohen
Realtors office,” said Hester.
