As the Kansas City Barbeque Society heads into its 34th year, we are looking for devoted and dedicated members to help guide this organization. As the organization grows, so do the needs for members with certain skill sets willing to devote their time and efforts to advance KCBS as the authority on outdoor cooking and barbeque.
