Memorial golf outing planned
The Second Annual Matthew Smelser Memorial Golf Outing is set for Sept. 29 at the Madison Club, 519 Yukon Road, Madison.
Smelser, who lived in Carroll Township, was a paramedic for Rostraver West Newton EMS when he was killed Jan. 5, 2020, while tending to accident patients on Interstate 70.
Registration for the golf outing begins at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. The fee is $100 per person and includes golf, cart, steak dinner, hot dogs at clubhouse/turn and refreshments on the course.
The event, which will be held rain or shine, will be a four-team scramble. All players will be eligible for skill prizes and other drawings.
Proceeds benefit the Matthew Smelser Memorial Foundation.
“Our goal is to provide scholarships to those in the EMS community to help further their education,” said Kristi Secrist, foundation secretary and Smelser’s niece.
