I’m 70. Our Legion post has been closed down for several years. Used to be a pretty fun place; but then some of the younger guys (i.e., not old farts like me) thought they could run it “like it should be, like a modern club,” and they got their wish. Like I said, it’s been closed now for several years.
I’ve seen that happen a couple of times.
Today, most Legion posts are run by SOL (Sons of Legionaries) and/or auxiliary.
I also know of a couple of posts that pay the dues for past members so they can keep up their numbers to keep their Legion charter. That keeps them exempt from property taxes.
