Children of all ages dine with their fathers

THE CHRONIC1.H v
Families gathered .to celebrate fatherhood with food . and .
fellowship last Thursday at the Winston Lake. Family
YMCA.
The Y's first-ever Bring Your Dad to Dinner event
attracted a room full of proud fathers and grandfathers,
uncles and male mentors. Jolyn Roberts, the branch's mem
bership director, said the pre-Father's Day gathering was a
follow-up to last month's successful Mother-Daughter Tea.
Both programs, Roberts said, strived to bring families clos
er together.
"A lot of times parents just drop their kids off' said
Roberts. "We want them to be intentional about spending
time with their kids."
The families were treated to home-cooked spaghetti,
served with salad and fresh bread. But they got their fill
from more than just the food. Several attendees took the
opportunity to talk about the joys of fatherhood or to praise
their dad or father-figure.
Fred Henry Jr. went through the serving line while hold
ing his two-year-old son, Fred III. in one arm and a plate in
the other. The little tyke held a package of plastic utensils as
his father scooped spaghetti onto a plate for him. Henry Jr.
returned to his table where other members of his family sat,
including his own father, Fred Henry Sr.
Henry Jr. lives in Winston-Salem but works in
Greensboro. His work schedule and the commute keep him
from spending as much time with his family as he would
like. He jumped at the chance to spend the evening with his
son and father.
"To have an opportunity through the Y for families to get
together, I think is a very special occasion," said Henry Jr.
