<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\">Dear Pi Kappa Delta and Forensic Colleagues,</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\">I join the National Council of Pi Kappa Delta in extending this invitation to join us for Pi Kappa Delta’s 100<sup>th</sup> birthday at its 2013 Biennial Convention and Tournament March 13-16 on the campus of Webster University in St. Louis, MO. I have been working with your national president, Gina Jensen, and our Webster staff, along with the PKD National Council to host the best birthday party any of our PKD members have ever seen. Pi Kapp’s centennial celebration has been taking shape for several years. We are excited the event is finally here! </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\">This year’s tournament will feature the very best of intercollegiate forensics in a full range of individual and team events, including debate and individual events not before offered at a PKD national tournament. The convention will be highlighted by changes in scheduling, along with other features that will enable our members to celebrate the full benefits of their tournament participation, as well as the celebration of this important moment in PKD’s history. A number of PKD’s Hall of Fame members and past leaders will join several alumni and the current face of the active PKD undergraduate membership for a truly memorable nationals experience. All this will unfold on the beautiful campus of Webster University and the Sheraton Westport Lakeside Chalet. </span></div>
