Hi guys! We’re putting together a little community event in Beaumont next week and would genuinely love to get a few more local people in the room.

On Thursday, August 20, What's Up SETX and The Forge - Fund & Coworking are hosting Forge What’s Next at The Forge downtown.

It’s basically just a night for people around SETX who are building something, thinking about starting something, working on a side hustle, growing a business, or even just wanting to meet more people doing interesting things around here.

Nothing super formal or awkward. You don’t need a pitch, business cards, or even a fully formed idea. 

We're hoping y'alll would come hang out, meet some people, talk about what you’re working on (or want to work on), and hopefully make a connection or two.

We know there are so many people already doing really cool things around Southeast Texas, and part of why we wanted to do this was just to help get more of those people in the same room.

WHERE: The Forge at 268 Pearl Street, Beaumont

WHEN: Thursday, August 20 at 6 to 8 pm

We’re still trying to get the word out, so if this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d really love to have you. And if you know someone who’s always talking about starting a business, working on an idea, or looking to meet more people locally, feel free to send this their way too.

Hope to see some of y’all there!  If you have any questions, let me know :)

Hoping this is okay to share here! We recently started a little twice-a-week newsletter for the Golden Triangle, covering what’s happening around SETX such as (awesome) local news, city notices, upcoming events, sports stuff, community updates, and just the things we think people around here might actually want to know about.

It’s still pretty new, but it’s been really exciting to put together, and we’re hoping to slowly get the word out and reach more people in the community. ❤️

We spend a lot of time every day going through local updates, city pages, events, notices, and news so people don’t have to hunt through a million different places just to figure out what’s going on.

So with that said, here’s our To-Do List for this Monday's issue in SETX!

And truly, we hope this kind of post is welcome here. We’re not trying to spam anyone cause we’re just a small local newsletter trying to hopefully reach more readers and make it a little easier to stay connected with what’s happening around the Golden Triangle.

If you’d like to see more local stories like these, or if you want to read the full issue, I’d be more than happy to share it. And if you have something happening around SETX that you think we should know about, please send it our way too! :)
