On March 25, 1916 H.B. De Long, E.K. Kiemle, George Libby Jr., S.H. Wentworth, and F.U. Mc Coskrie met as the Board of Trustees of the Manito Pistol and Rifle Club to submit their agreement to associate themselves with the intention of forming a corporation under the name – Manito Pistol and Rifle Club.
Our Articles of Incorporation have been amended since then. In 1969 - one amendment changed the name of the Corporation to the “Spokane Rifle Club.”
Other amendments about our purpose were minor – and remain principally the same as written in 1916.
As originally filed with the State of Washington - our purpose is to:
- To promote and encourage the art and practice of rifle shooting, and to develop training and skill in the use of firearms.
- To buy, own, lease, rent, or hold such real estate or property as may be suited to the practice of rifle shooting, or other kinds of firearms.
- To bring together and develop fellowship, and to promote a closer union and cooperation among men and women interested in, or desiring to become proficient in, rifle shooting or the use of firearms, and to possess the grounds, ranges, and equipment best suited to that accomplishment.
