The Notebook’s annual Turning the Page for Change celebration is coming up. The event will take place from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 9, at the University of the Arts, 320 S. Broad St. Admission is $75.

This year, the Notebook will honor documentary photographer Harvey Finkle. For more than a quarter-century, Finkle has created images that deal with social, political, cultural, and educational issues. He has been photographing for the Notebook for 15 years. At the event, the Notebook will present a display of his photos and hold a silent auction of several pieces.

Attendees will also be able to enjoy student journalism awards, exciting prizes, student musicians, fantastic food, and conversation with some of the city’s most knowledgeable people in public education.

The Notebook is seeking volunteers for the planning committee and is inviting organizations and businesses to sponsor the event. Sponsorships start at $600. Contact Lauren Wiley, development director.
