DEAR FRIENDS, As we enter the holiday season and approach the end of 2017, it’s a good time to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year. In addition to compelling programming from NPR, PBS and the Little Theatre, we are proud of our many events and opportunities to engage with our community.

I don’t have space for everything, but I’m pleased to share some of the highlights of the year.

Norm Silverstein

WXXI Kids 24/7: In February, we launched WXXI Kids 24/7, a full-time PBS KIDS channel available on TV and via live streaming on digital. This free service supports our mission to provide our youngest viewers with non-violent, commercial-free educational programming and ensures that PBS KIDS’ programming is available to all children and caregivers at a convenient time.

The Little Theatre Marquee: In June, the newly renovated Little Theatre

marquee reclaimed its place as one of Rochester’s visual landmarks. More than a thousand people turned out for our Marquee Relighting Block Party. We are now the brightest beacon on East Avenue!

Be My Neighbor Day: The City of Rochester and Monroe County declared June 3 “Be My Neighbor Day” as WXXI, along with our community partners, hosted a fun-filled “Be My Neighbor Day” celebration at the Central Library.

More than 3,000 kids and their parents joined us for learning activities, opportunities to do kind acts for others, and meet Daniel Tiger himself. I shared the stage with Daniel that morning and the sea of happy children we saw from the podium was incredible!

The Vietnam War series and Outreach: The Vietnam War, which was

referred to as Ken Burns’ most ambitious film, premiered in September. The sweeping 18-hour documentary was an emotional and compelling journey that received a great deal of acclaim. In addition to the broadcast, WXXI partnered with MuCCC Theater, The Central Library, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 20, and the local Vietnamese Community to host outreach events to engage our community in conversations about what happened during the Vietnam War era.

Opioids and Heroin Epidemic Coverage: To shed light on what law enforcement and health care providers are calling an “epidemic,” WXXI-TV and our national healthcare series Second Opinion devoted an evening of special programming on the issue of opioids and heroin abuse in October. The night featured Overdose: Inside the Epidemic, where a local couple shared the story of their son who struggled with opioid use and addiction, and eventually died from a heroin overdose. WXXI News, including Need to Know and Connections with Evan Dawson, will continue to address the issue with ongoing coverage.

These are only a few examples of the programming and services that had an impact on our community – and, as a member, I hope you share our pride in the work we have done in 2017. From our news team and their trusted, balanced reporting to Classical 91.5’s local hosts and productions, from the great music your hear on WRUR-FM to our 24-hour radio reading services for people who are visually impaired, and from all we present on TV and at The Little, it has truly been a great year. And, all this important work would not be possible without your membership support, and for that, we thank you!

Warmest holiday wishes and all the best for the New Year.

NEWS&EVENTS

Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER For over 100 years, Fairport Baptist Homes (FBH) has been providing compassionate care to seniors and their families. FBH offers senior housing, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitative care, and in-home services, and encourages seniors to be as independent as possible. Opening in spring 2018, FBH’s new senior living community, The Woodlands at Stonebrook, will offer apartments with optional amenities, which will allow residents to choose their own service packages. WXXI connects with Tom Poelma, CEO, to learn more about FBH. Q. How does community support affect FBH? We rely heavily on community support. Our Senior Options for Independence (SOFI) program runs in partnership with the Town of Perinton. From a financial standpoint, we rely on donations to our foundation to make up the difference between what insurance covers and the actual high costs of care at FBH. Q. What are some of the greatest challenges facing families in your world?

Choosing care providers and/or transitioning to a new home or level of care can be one of the toughest and most important decisions older adults and their families make.

Q. How does FBH help families overcome these challenges?

Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care in all we do. Our SOFI program and our senior housing options help independent seniors maintain their independence. We’re pioneers in bringing the household model to long-term care by being person-centered and focusing on care, community and choice. Our communities are full of life: caring, vibrant, vital.

Q. What are the top three activities residents enjoy the most?

Weekly harp music with Diane, playing games, including trivia, bingo, word games, and Yahtzee, and religious activities in our chapel.

Q. How does FBH help preserve independence?

We strive for our residents to have the most active and healthy lifestyles they can by providing every opportunity to be as independent as possible. Our staff helps residents to embrace choices, feel empowered and live a happy, healthy life.

TVHIGHLIGHTS

MONDAY, DECEMBER 4 AT 8PM ON WXXI-TV

This feature film captures the imagination and inspiration of those who make scaling the 46 Adirondack Mountain High Peaks in northern New York State a life-changing experience. The film provides an introduction to the men and women of the Adirondack 46ers Club, a group that supports the hiking of the high peaks in summer and winter from places such as Mount Marcy, the place from which Director Blake Cortright drew inspiration for the film.

BUYING THE

HOLIDAYS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26 AT 12PM ON AM 1370

As 2017 comes to a close, we’re taking a closer look at some of the hallmarks of our holidays. And since home is where the heart is, we visit Levittown, NY, the birthplace of the suburbs, where homeownership was made possible for (at least) some Americans. Then, you’ll probably eat a Hershey’s Kiss this Christmas. So how did one man bring chocolate to the U.S.?

Plus, our main streets have been slowly losing their retail stores for decades. We find out why and what’s replacing them.

THE HILARIOUS WORLD OF DEPRESSION

HOLIDAY COPING MECHANISM SPECTACULAR SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10 AT 9PM

Host John Moe presents an hour of fun, unusual, and intriguing ways for people with depression to get through the holiday season. With family visits, consumer demands, brutal weather, dark skies, and other factors, this time of year tries a depressive’s nerves the most, especially when they’re constantly being told how wonderful things are and how happy they should be.

HAPPY(ISH) HOLIDAYS FROM TERRIBLE, THANKS FOR ASKING SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17 AT 9PM

In this second-annual holiday radio extravaganza, Terrible, Thanks for Asking host Nora McInerny will once again bedazzle this difficult time of year with humor, stories, and the very real realness of reality. Join Nora for a conversation about holiday missteps with memoirist Augusten Burroughs, enjoy cheer and some humbug from special guests, and stories from listeners about their worst holidays ever.
