- Oct. 15 (Thursday): Springfield Rotaract Club's Double Dare fundraiser; 6:00; The Oasis Hotel & Convention Center. Think you’ve got what it takes to conquer trivia, tackle ridiculous challenges, and have a little friendly competition with your fellow Rotarians? Then we have a Double Dare for you! Doors open at 5:30 and the fun begins at 6:00. Inspired by the iconic American game show, Double Dare features three rounds of themed trivia, minute-to-win-it style games, and challenges that will have teams up and moving. Come prepared to laugh, compete, and possibly discover talents you didn’t know you had! Southeast Rotary Has Two Tables! We’re sponsoring TWO tables at this year’s event, and one table is already full! That means we have just 8 seats remaining, as of Sept. 15. A spouse or guest is welcome to join you, so grab a seat for yourself (and maybe your favorite teammate) before our remaining spots are gone. BONUS: The theme is the 2000s! Break out your favorite early-2000s fashion, channel your favorite pop culture icon, or simply come ready to relive the glory days of flip phones, boy bands, and questionable fashion choices. Dressing for the theme is encouraged, but definitely not required! Best of all, your participation helps support a great cause. Proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that help youth across the Ozarks find their unlimited potential.
