HELP! The Patriot Lost his Wallet Promotion

*Nov. 11, 2009*

The George Mason Patriot has reported to campus authority that his wallet is missing. It is a black wallet with a white Mason athletics logo on the front. Inside are valuable coupons to some of `The Patriots' favorite places, including Papa Johns, Saxbys and University Mall Theatre. Also in the wallet are his George Mason University ID and his basketball schedule card.

If you find a wallet that matches that description, please be a Good Samaritan and bring it to the Mason basketball double-header on Friday at the Patriot Center. You will have the chance to win a prize, including an I-Home for your I-pod. The lost and found will be located at the Mason Athletics Information table on the north concourse.
