Carlisle Gun Club Meeting Minutes
08/31/2020

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by the Club President.

The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Officers present: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary and 3 Trustees.  There were 28 members present.

The meeting began with a presentation from special guest Sergeant David Miller, Commander of Cumberland County SRT.  Sgt. Miller and his team respond to high risk situations, requiring special equipment to keep his officers and innocent civilians safe.  Funding is a challenge since Cumberland County does not budget for the SRT.  The supplies used by the team have been made possible through generous donations.

The Minutes for the July 2020 meeting were read and approved. 

Treasurer’s Report was read and accepted.  The total balance of all accounts, checking, savings, CDs and Training Fund amounted to $68,324.59.

Corresponding Secretary’s Report- An email was recently sent to all members that club dues are now being accepted by Paypal or mail.  Also an email was sent regarding donations for the NRA-ILA.
