ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — The Robertsdale Alumni Association handed out 20 scholarships during a special ceremony held Tuesday, April 27 at the Honeybee Park pavilion in Robertsdale.
The Alumni Association hosts two annual fundraisers for scholarships, the annual Forks and Spoons Tasting Spree is held annually in October at the PZK Hall, and the Annual Tea Party, which celebrated its 12th year in March at the Baldwin County Coliseum.
While both the Forks and Spoons fundraiser was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic, the Annual Tea Party was held virtually in February and money was raised through a Centennial quilt raffle.
Each of the recipients at the ceremony received a $500 scholarship to the school of their choice.
Tuesday’s awards were handed out by Alumni Association Vice President Rita Turner, Secretary Diane Foster and Membership chairman Stephanie Kroll with help from the Young Miss Honeybee Georgia Carrino and Little Miss Honeybee Breanna Schiemer.

Joey Steele Memorial Scholarship, donated by Joy and Dr. Joseph Steele and presented by Tricia, JP and Tucker Steele: Hunter Theodoro and Eli Godfrey.
