New Lost and Found Policy

Starting this year, there will be a change to the Lost-n-Found policy. Found items from previous years which have not been returned by the end of the new convention become the property of CONvergence and will be divided into three categories and disposed of as follows:

1. Donate to CONvergence Silent Auction - Items which are deemed "nifty" by the discerning eye of the Ops staff will be donated to the Silent Auction
2. Donate to charity - Items which are usable but not "nifty" will be turned over to MISFITS for their annual fund-raising garage sale or given to some other charity.
3. Dispose - Items of a private nature (checkbooks, exposed film, etc. will be destroyed to protect the privacy of the former owner.

So, to clarify, if you lost something at CONvergence 2002, you have until the end of the 2003 convention to claim it. If you donšt claim it during that time, it may appear in the 2004 Silent Auction. Ops will also try to contact you if there is any useful information on the item.

If you lost something at CVG2002 and want to be proactive, please contact Ops Co-Head Stephanie Lindorff at 612-827-4440 or ops@convergence-con.org and wešll make sure it doesnšt end up in the Silent Auction.
