A place for cool dads (and their families too of course) to meet and mingle. There may be scheming and shenanigans as well.   Q & A Q. Why Charlotte Dads (and not "Charlotte Parents"?) A.

But we want to be inclusive of all, so ALL family members (moms, grandparents, etc) are welcome at events.   Q. If this group is organized by Dads, why is …
