Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce
Dear Contestants,
You are invited to enter the Miss Leeds Area 2009 Scholarship program to be held
on Saturday, September 13, 2008 at Pine Tree Country Club in Birmingham,
Alabama. Miss Leeds Area is an open pageant and young women between the
ages of 17 and 23 by December 31, 2008 are eligible to enter. Each participant
must never have been married and must be of good moral character.
Miss Leeds Area is a one day pageant. Contestants will be asked to arrive at 8:00
a.m. and will stay until the evening’s pageant is complete. Other than competition
clothing, contestants will need a pair of black pants and a sparkley shirt in the
color of your choosing. The theme of this year's pageant will be announced soon
and further information provided at a later date. Both lunch and dinner are
provided at the club. In addition to qualifying as a contestant in the Miss Alabama
2009 Pageant, the winner of this pageant will join a long line of other successful
Miss Leeds Area winners in service to the Leeds community. The winner and
runners-up will receive cash and in-kind scholarships and prizes.
The deadline for entry is September 1, 2008. To obtain paperwork, please visit
the website at www.missleedsarea.com, or contact Sandra McGuire at 205-699-
5001 or 205-965-9392. Please make use of the checklist to insure that all
paperwork, and other pertinent information is completed and turned in on time.
The pageant will be limited to 20 participants.
The Miss Leeds Area organization will once again host the Rising Star program for
its contestants. Young girls between the ages of 7 and 11 will participate in an
afternoon event, and will be a part of the show on Saturday evening. The fee is
$50 for the Rising Stars, they will be randomly assigned to a contestant (unless a
contestant specifically requests a Rising Star on their application), and the $300
fee for the Rising Star to participate in the Miss Alabama Pageant will be paid. It is
very important if you have a Rising Star that you contact them and have them
enter our event. Miss Leeds Area will be required to take the Rising Star to Miss
Alabama from this pageant. Also, please bring a small gift for your rising star to
give her at dinner the evening of the pageant.
After the entrance package is received, you will be contacted with a complete
itinerary, but please plan on arriving at Pine Tree Country Club by 8 a.m. on
Saturday, September 13, 2008.
Please do not hesitate to call if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
Sandra McGuire, 205-699-5001
