Lost Camera's

One of our members lost two camera's that were in a camera bag at this years Talent Show at Ardsley HS. The Camera's were a Sony camcorder (Model HDR SR11) and Canon Camera (Power Shot SD870IS) and were placed in a Sony carrying case/bag. The bag was left on one of the tables in the cafeteria during intermission. As most camera bags look alike we believe someone may have taken this bag by mistake. We ask all of you to please check your camera bags and ensure you have the correct one. If anyone has any information please contact that owner: Mr. Umesh Patel 917-710-4258 umeshus2@yahoo.com Mr. Patel has offered a $300 reward for the return of the two camera's. THE CAMERA'S CAN BE REPLACED BUT THE CHERISHED MEMORIES IN THE CAMERA'S CANNOT. WE URGE ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE HELP FIND THE MISSING ITEMS.
