Alpha Delta Kappa is an international honorary sorority for women educators. Almost 50,000 members make up this strong organization. One of the cornerstones of the organization is funding scholarships for deserving members and students.
In April 2004 Georgia Alpha Delta Kappa celebrated their 50th anniversary in Savannah featuring the music of Johnny Mercer as their theme. The FJM were very helpful before and during the convention providing information, materials, music and speakers. In appreciation the 2,500 Georgia Alpha Delta Kappa members proudly presented the Friends of Johnny Mercer a check for $1,000.00 to be used for their scholastic award this year as they celebrate Johnny's 95th birthday. Georgia Alpha Delta Kappa is privilidged to present with FJM the 2004 Friends of Johnny Mercer Scholastic Award to Colin Agnew to be used for advanced suudy in music. |
