Miss Wheelchair Washington's gather
They share May birthdays
Four of the past Miss Wheelchair Washington's gathered at the home of the 2006 winner Tammy Wilber for a "Day of Beauty" on May 16.
They all share an unusual fact: all their birthdays are in May, so it was a joint birthday celebration too. The event takes place in Burien in February and is hosted by the Northwest Paralyzed Veterans Association.
The purpose of the organization Wilber said is to "promote achievement, advocacy, and opportunity for all women including the disabled. There are three criteria for entry. You must be between 21 and 60 years of age, have lived in the state for at least one year, and you use a wheelchair for your community access.
The four are Tammy Wilber (2006), Sigrid Lagreid (2007), Meg Paulfen (2008, and the current title holder Jannette Saxton. "We want to be 'roll' models, said Wilber.
