expected increase in vehicular/pedestrian traffic around Howard University on Thursday, 07-11-2013, thru Wednesday, 07-17-2013, due to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority's 51st national convention

Dear residents,

July 11-17, 2013, members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will be in the District for the sorority's 51st National Convention and Centennial Celebration. Official events will be held at Howard University, the Verizon Center, the Convention Center and on the Mall. There are approximately 32,000 members registered for the convention and the sorority anticipates that there will be an additional 30,000 members in the District for various related festivities. The community should expect increased vehicle/pedestrian traffic near Howard University and the other venues.

Best,

Teri Janine Quinn
