We trade war’s paradox for the daily reality of running a VFW post: elections, budgets, volunteers, curb appeal, and how to welcome younger veterans without scaring them off. Then we map out smarter fundraising, compliance, and training ideas that keep the lights on and the mission alive.

• leadership changes shaping post culture and direction
• auxiliary partnership to share the house and workload
• curb appeal and first impressions for younger members
• easing new members in through volunteering before roles
• electrical upgrades, Keno plan, and licensing steps
• fundraising mix: squares, darts, pull tabs, poker runs
• food safety, TIPS, bonding, and compliance basics
• CPR training as service, revenue, and community value
• revisiting hours, especially Sundays, to control costs
• why conferences and statewide ties matter for unity
