🍩 DONUTS, DEBATES & DAD JOKES! 🎤

Think you’re funny enough to beat Director David Daniels in a Dad Joke Competition? Bring your funniest, corniest and most eye-roll-worthy dad jokes and see if you can take him down! 😂

We’re not saying the competition will be corny… but we do think it’ll be a-maize-ing! 🌽

Then it’s time to pick a side! We’ll pull fun, random debate topics out of a hat—like iPhone vs. Android—and participants will have to defend their side. No serious arguments, just quick thinking, funny comebacks and friendly competition!

🏆 Who will be crowned the Dad Joke Champion?
🗣️ Who can defend the most ridiculous argument?
🍩 And who’s just coming for the donuts?

📅 Friday, October 30
⏰ 10:15–11:15 AM
📍 R.I.S.E. Recovery Support Center
497 Belleville Ave., New Bedford, MA

Come ready to laugh, compete and have some fun. All are welcome—but don’t show up unprepared, because Director David is bringing his best material!

And remember: donut miss it! 🍩
