William Kauffman is again hosting his annual BBQ on the deck at his home in Johnson City.
He's providing bbq sandwiches and drinks. Alcohol is permitted, but you'll need to bring your own.
You're encouraged to bring a side of some type, but it's not required.
William has seating for about 8, so if some will bring a chair it would be helpful. The barbecue and food will be on the deck behind the house, you have to go through the house to get to the deck.
Please indicate in a timely manner if you are attending so William knows how much food to prepare. There will be provisions for vegetarians.
All who identify as male and are over 18 are welcome!
