The Ohio Northern Pettit College of Law’s annual public interest auction is set for noon, Friday, Feb. 8, in the large court room in the Law College.
"We are seeking donations for the auction,” said Jane Ward, director of law career services.
"The auction provides funds to help ONU law students with their living expenses as they volunteer their time over the summer providing legal services to the underprivileged and those who would otherwise not be able to have needed legal assistance,” she said.
We are asking for donations of items that can be purchased at the live auction, the silent auction, and a raffle.

The Ada Academic Boosters' financial assistance made the wall possible. It is located outside the elementary office.
Ada fourth graders for several years have taken the Books with Benz reading incentive. “Benz” is really Rich Bensman, ONU men’s basketball coach.
Each fall Coach Bensman and several players on the ONU men’s team visit Ada fourth graders. The visit emphasizes the importance of reading.
Books with Benz reading incentive inspires fourth graders to read. In a men’s game, earlier this week, students who met or exceeded the reading challenge were recognized at halftime after getting into the game free. And, of course, special reading shirts come with the incentive – and the fourth graders are wearing them in the photo.
