2.  Lost & Found - There were a couple items left at the June Convention
We had two items that were left at the June Convention at the Coeur d'Alene Resort.  

Jacket - I know someone asked me about it, but I can't remember who it was.  The Resort found a jacket that was left at the Reception on Thursday evening.  They mailed it to me and as soon as you identify yourself, I will mail it back to you.

7 Iron on the Golf Course - Bob French ended up with an extra club during one of the Golf Tournaments.  If you can describe the one he ended up with, it's yours!
