reading the date and day

How do you read a combination of the date and the day, for example:

Thurs, 18, Sep.

Q1) Should I read it like "The event is held/takes place on Thursday September eighteenth?"
Or "The event is... on September eighteenth on Thursday?"

Q2) How do you read this? November, 2012

Do you read it like "The event is held in November two thousand twelve(or twenty twelve)?

Thank you for correcting my mistake.

What about the second question? I edited it, sorry. (I ask this question because I saw the preposition "on" when we read like "The event is held on May fourth."

Yes, it wasn't there when I started my response!

The event will be held in November two thousand twelve / twenty twelve.

'At' a time, 'on' a day, 'in' a month/year/etc.
