The Foundation for Abused and Neglected Children of York County (FANCY) supports the needs of abused and neglected children in the court systems of York County and the court-appointed volunteers who are their guardian ad litems. The guardians are court appointed to protect the interests of minors or imcompetent in a particular matter. They are the voice of the children.
FANCY raises money to fund educational, extracurricular and learning opportunities for the abused and neglected children in the York County Family Court system. The group provides food, toiletries and financial assitance for families in crisis who are unable to get help from other sources in a timely manner.
The non-profit group provides volunteers the necessary training and/or assistance needed to represent the children. Viva Halcom of Tega Cay became a volunteer guardian ad litem five years ago and serves as the President of the Foundation. “During the holidays, FANCY often receives requests from the Department of Social Service for gifts for children in Intensive Foster Treatment homes and other facilities. With the help of financial donors, we can help these children.
We can also provided a list of gift items if a donor would like to shop for gifts for the children,” said Halcom. Credit Card donations, checks and other donations are welcome to help the children. For more information at http://www.facebook.com/FANCY.YorkCounty or by

Bakers Buzzin – Featured Fort Mill / Tega Cay
Our featured Fort Mill / Tega Cay business this edition is Bakers Buzzin.
Bakers Buzzin’ is a brand new children’s cooking studio located in the heart of Tega Cay and Fort Mill. Tega Cay residents and owners Leslie and Andrew Fisher started with a basic vision; to teach children of all ages how to cook and bake while having fun. From that point forward their ideas grew and their business was born. They teach basic cooking skills using ordinary kitchen equipment with a wide variety of foods and ingredients. Children are guided through age appropriate recipes that are not only fun and delicious, but that can be recreated at home in their own kitchens. Their weekly classes focus on a single theme such as a seasonal fruit or vegetable, a holiday or a food that kids will love to create over and over again.
As parents of three children ages 7, 9 and 12, the Fisher’s understand that families are extremely busy with so many extracurricular activities. Learning even basic kitchen skills is often out of reach for most children and this is where they come in. Children learn manners, teamwork, math, science, good hygiene and so much more by attending their weekly classes and events. In addition to weekly classes, Bakers Buzzin’ offers a variety of children’s Birthday Parties, Scout and other group events, Kids’ Night Out’s, workshops and more. Stop into their kitchen studio at 725 Stockbridge Drive in Fort Mill on the corner of Gold Hill Road and Highway 160. You’ll love what you see! You can also visit them online at www.bakers-buzzin.com, give them a call at (803) 548-7979 or email them at info@bakers-buzzin.com for more information.
