VFW in Lawrence searches for smaller home amid waning membership

The VFW post in Lawrence, Kansas, faces bills and taxes as member numbers fall from World War II veterans. About 450 members remain, with many out of state or in care facilities, prompting talks of leasing or buying a smaller location. The post, at its fourth site in the city since the 1960s, features a bar, ballroom, kitchen, and Friday dinners, and hopes to preserve the VFW presence even as the building may be sold. Bert Nash Center uses a memorial fund to finance the purchase, aided by a $1 million life insurance policy on former CEO Dr. Sandra Shaw, who died in November.
