Candidates For DSRPC President
To The Desert Sportsman's Rifle and Pistol Club
My name is Howard Bloom I am running for again for President. I am a former Marine and have been shooting in competition for 45 years. I have been president and captain of two Rifle and Pistol teams and have shot with my club (Leadslingers) and with the Illinois State Rifle Association Teams at the Nationals at Camp Perry. I have also been a manager for a fortune 500 company. I have been DSRPC Sergeant At Arms it was be my duty to keep order at the meeting and be on the By Laws committee. I ask for your vote. I have had the privilege to be the President for the 11/2 years. My agenda is one thing…to do best I can for DSRPC.  

The club has seen tremendous and positive change during my tenure as President. It is my desire to continue that growth in the form of training, range upgrades, expansion of our long distance ranges, bringing electricity to the property and many other improvements.  

With your vote for me the vision and improvements will continue. In advance I thank you for your vote.  
To DSRPC Members;
I'm Ken Champagne and I'm running for President of DSRPC. I came to Las Vegas in 1973 with the Air Force. I am the owner and President of US Plumbing.

Desert Sportsman's could be a gem. Our range has the potential to be developed into the premier shooting facility in all of Nevada. To accomplish this our club needs a vision and the proper leadership and experience in organizing developing and constructing such a facility. I have the qualifications and experience with over 20 years of building a successful business in Las Vegas.

Qualifications/Leadership: 23 years as President of US Plumbing, 20 years as President of an HOA and specific knowledge of DSRPC having recently served as the Executive Range Officer.

Serving as DSRPC Executive Range Officer I developed a Master Plan for DSRPC. I performed the recent renovations and construction of Ranges 4, 7 and 9. As a volunteer member I performed much of the work to expand and build these ranges.

I know the task, I have the qualifications and I am committed to take Desert Sportsman's into the future.

Thank you for your consideration.
Kenneth Champagne

Candidates for DSRPC Secretary
Ray Lehman Candidate for DSRPC Secretary
Hello, my name is Ray Lehman and I am the current Secretary of DSRPC. I took office as the result of an E-Board member resigning before the end of their term. If I recall correctly the duties of the Secretary had to be divided among the Vice-President and the Treasurer.

Desert Sportsman’s Rifle and Pistol Club is a premier club on the western part of the United States. I intend to keep it that way by keeping members informed of the activities, important dates, events, and anything that threatens the Second Amendment.

In the year+ I have been Secretary, I have grown the newsletter to be an important tool for keeping up. A few months ago I added a “Member Comment” section to the newsletter and will be adding one to the website giving all members a voice. I have helped modify the website to make it much more user-friendly. I brought the well-received hand wash stations to the club. I appreciate very much your vote for me.

I look forward to DSRPC’s bright future under the current E-Board especially our President Howard Bloom.
