lost items, labeled or not, but you may wish to check the lost-and-found cabinet in the office for missing items.  If clothing is not claimed in a reasonable amount of time, it will be donated to Good Will.

c.  Jackets.  Outerwear must be red, white or navy blue only, except for seldom-needed rainwear, which may be any color.  No designs, labels or logos are allowed on outerwear.  Carden Conejo sweatshirts and jackets may be worn throughout the day.  Polar fleece jackets are also available at Mill’s Uniforms store (see P. 15).
