Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of Queens College, the City University of New York (CUNY) and the Queens College Speech Society, I would like to cordially extend an invitation for you to attend the Strength In Numbers Tournament at Queens College in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens in New York City on Saturday, January 18th, 2020.

This competition will feature all 11 AFA-style Individual Events, as well as, novice and open divisions of individual International Public Debate (IPDA), Parliamentary debate (NPDA), and individual Lincoln-Douglas Debate (NFA-LD). If there's enough interest, we will consider adding Junior Varsity (JV) and Professional Divisions of IPDA Debate.

All entries must be received by Wednesday, January 15th, 2020, at 5:00 pm EST. You must register at the Speechwire.com website which provides all of our tournament information. Emailed entries will not be accepted. Changes will be accepted without charge until Thursday, January 16th, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. EST at which point fees will be set. Late fees will be charged for any changes after the 16th at noon (in addition to any fees associated with the entry).

Although we are unable to provide lunch, there are many excellent local restaurant options featured throughout the neighborhood that will deliver to our campus.

I am also pleased to mention that our friends at the Southern & Northern Atlantic Forensic Union (SNAFU) will be hosting the SNAFU# 6 tournament at our campus on the following day on Sunday, January 19th, 2020. So please, tell your friends and tell your colleagues to join us for an exciting weekend of competitions. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. And remember, there’s great strength in numbers!

Yours In Forensics,

Randy Perez
