October 2024 Message from President Borkon

From the Firing Line, with President Michael Borkon

Keeping the faith with our original organizational charter

At our July board meeting, we had what I considered then to be a landmark discussion. It was interesting that during a single meeting, our discussion ranged from the the original Mill Creek Rifle Club charter of nearly 67 years ago, to the discussion and eventual vote to approve the creation of a charitable foundation for the benefit of the club and youth shooting into the future. I would wager that most members don't realize this is actually one of the very principles upon which this club was founded.
