Lost and Found

If you have been wondering what happened to some of the items that you lost during the various IAK functions in the past, worry no more! Many of the lost and found items from the Latvian Center and Kasdorf Auditorium, Loy Norrix High School eventually end up with Vijay Mehta. And Mr. Mehta expected that people who lost something would eventually call him to inquire about it. Unfortunately not many people have contacted him  about lost items and  Mr. Mehta now has a collection of ‘lost and found’ items from past IAK functions.

If there is a possibility that one of your items may be part of this collection, please give Mr. Mehta a call at 327.5456 and he will direct you to the loot. Thanks.
