• An overview of their guidelines and various grant opportunities offered by BAC



• A detailed explanation of the application process and their updated online application



• Tips on writing a successful grant application



• A question and answer session



• A chance to meet BAC staff and other applicants

BROOKLYN Weekend FUN: Fabipops!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!! I hope you're week was awesome. It's time for the weekend! As you already know, here at The Gift Is Yours we believe in making your weekends count. Our Brooklyn Weekend FUN suggestion this week is one new fab-i-lous word: Fabipops!!!

Due to high consumer demands, earlier this week, small business owner Fabiola Scarbrough's hard work paid off when she opened Brooklyn's ONLY cake pop store! How awesome is that?!?!?!

         

        

Located in the fabulous Park Slope area of Brooklyn, Fabipops offers an array of custom cake pops, ring pops, and push pops. These super moist, tasty, and eye catching treats leaves nothing to be desired.  They even offer cake pop classes where you can learn the art of decorating cake pops.

If you're in Brooklyn this weekend or even if you're in another borough take a trip over to Fabipops located at 60 4th Avenue!!! It'll most certainly be worth the journey!

Lastly, from one small business owner to another, I would like to say: Congratulations Fabiola, I wish you an eternity of success!!!  ~Meagan
