Comma use

Please tell me whether the comma after "December 3" in the following sentence is required, not required, or optional.

We decided to hold a conference on on Tuesday, December 3, and Wednesday, December 4, 2013.

"Tuesday" and "December 3" are appositive, and I think that the comma is required, but I am not sure.

Similarly, what about the following case? Do I need a comma after "2013"?

We decided to make an appeal for opinions from Wednesday, December 11, 2013, to Friday, January 10, 2014, on the subject matter.
