18th annual golf tournament attracts 38 golfers

Thirty-eight golfers teed off at Ponce de Leon Golf Club in Hot Springs Village Aug. 23 to raise funds for the Randy Kemp Memorial Scholarship. Kemp was the Association of Arkansas Counties’ first communications director. He joined AAC in 2008 after a successful career in newspapers. He died in a motorcycle accident in August 2011.

The Randy Kemp Memorial Scholarship aims to raise funds for scholarships for descendants of county officials or employees who intend to pursue a college degree in communications.

The 2016 Randy Kemp Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Shawna Martin, granddaughter of Laurel Reed with the Baxter County Road Department.

AAC appreciates all who support the fund, the golfers who participated and the sponsors who all make it possible.
