Educator organization names scholarship
The Fort Myers Beach chapter of Kappa Kappa Iota, a professional organization for educators, met recently and voted to name its scholarship in honor of Linda Emmel, a charter member who has donated $1,000 to the scholarship fund.
The scholarship will be presented annually to a local student who is majoring in Education at an accredited college or university. Mrs. Emmel is a past state president of Georgia Kappa Kappa Iota and moved to Fort Myers after retiring. She is a recognized leader in education and has been active at the local, state and national level of Kappa Kappa Iota.
