TRAVIS SPOUSES CLUB NEWSLETTER

Can you believe it's November already!?

We had a great month of October and November will be even better as we prepare for the Holiday Season!

This year, the Travis Spouses Governing Board elected to giveaway experiences at each of our member's socials. Experiences that will allow you to explore our local area and enjoy the company of your significant other or a friend. We truly hope you enjoy every opportunity to participate at our socials or our volunteer opportunities!
