For the past twelve years my original charter chapter, The PulpwoodQueens of East Texas, we have been meeting the second Tuesday of each month unless otherwise notified.

So, I have decided to send this one email to you that will have all the dates for all PQ events this holiday season so you can print out and add these dates to your calendars. If I missed anybody please share this Calendar of Events as follows:
