The purpose, goals, and mission of an organization is what attracts persons of common interests to come together. The founders of the Milpitas Historical Society came up with three sentences that identified why the Society exists and what role it should play in our community. As a reminder of what the Society stands for, here is Article II from our bylaws.
Who Are We?
