Dear Potential Contestant,

My name is Angie Wilkerson and I am the Contestant Coach for the Ms. Wheelchair Virginia program.  I was Ms. Wheelchair Virginia 2005-2006, second runner-up in Ms. Wheelchair America 2006.  From March 2006 to June 2008 I was Assistant Coordinator for MWVA.  I have worked with many contestants just like yourself preparing them for the weekend gala, some have gone on to become MWVA.  I've been in your place and I know the questions and concerns you have, which I can address. Also, I know things you can do now to help you be a strong applicant.   I recommend contestants start planning as soon as possible.  I will work with you as soon as you want to start and I'll work with you all year if you want.  My services are free to you and confidential.  I do this because I am passionate about helping contestants and the MWVA program.  I am here to help you through the application and preparation process and I want you to contact me so I can guide and help you. I look forward to hearing from and working with you soon. You can reach me by contacting Ms. Wheelchair Virginia program Attention: Contestant Coach or Angie Wilkerson.

God bless,
