Needed: Journalistic ‘treasures’ for Friends Silent Auction

Do you have a journalistic treasure hiding in your closet? A book you’ve written that just needs your signature to become a keepsake for someone? A treasure from The Daily Texan you are ready to pass along, in the hope of helping The Texan financially?

The Oct. 4 Friends of The Daily Texan Annual Dinner and Hall of Fame will once again feature a Silent Auction.  Donations are currently being accepted.

The dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception, followed by dinner and the event at 7 p.m. in the Shirley Bird Perry Ballroom of The Texas Union building.
