Southeast Texas, November 22 – SETXsocialcenter.com, a free calendar for all events in Southeast Texas, brought to you courtesy of Tim and Cody Bauer with Texas Financial in Winnie, Texas, is pleased to announce the events of its member organizations for the week of November 22, 2009.
Southeast Texas’ week to eat turkey and then shop till you drop is a little slower than most weeks. There are no ribbon cuttings and only one fundraiser. It’s a week to focus on family and give thanks which is why Family Services of Southeast Texas has designated the entire week, National Family Week. Read about it here and preview this week’s activities below. Also, note that many organizations are beginning to announce their major event dates for 2010. So, get out your 2010 calendar and start saving the date for these great Southeast Texas events. See these “MAJOR DATE ANNOUNCEMENTS” at the end of this release.
