SESAME STREET’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17 AT 7PM ON WXXI-TV It’s an event 50 years in the making as Sesame Street celebrates its 50th Anniversary. We’re celebrating the world’s most iconic street with all our furry friends and some very special guests including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Patti LaBelle, Sterling K. Brown, and many more! To mark the special event, the whole neighborhood comes together to take a photo under the Sesame Street sign—but the sign is missing! While Elmo and friends search for the sign, Joe takes a look back at 50 years of Sesame Street memories, and everyone soon realizes that Sesame Street isn’t just a sign or a street—it’s a place where everybody is welcome, learning is fun, and all kinds of monsters, birds, and humans come together to form lifelong friendships. Repeats 11/19 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV.

Thanks to the support of Betty and so many others, we are in the unique position to enhance our existing arts and culture services and expand arts reporting in our newsroom – our investment in CITY Newspaper demonstrates just that. Again, the thanks go to our donors. They know that the arts have widespread social impact and make a difference in the quality of life in our region. A study done by the Americans for the Arts proves that arts and culture are a driving force in a community’s economy. They help to boost revenue, increase tourism, and create jobs. The study also found that many believe the arts improve the quality of life and are important to local businesses and the economy. We couldn’t agree more. Finally, as you can see on the front cover, we’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sesame Street with an hour-long special Sunday, November 17 at 7 p.m. on WXXI-TV. I hope you have the chance to tune in and that you have the opportunity to attend our Cookie Monster Bash at the Central Library on November 2 and our Sesame Street Party for Grown-Ups at WXXI on November 10. To learn more, visit WXXI.org/sesame. From all of us at WXXI, the Little Theatre and CITY Newspaper, have a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy the specials we have planned around the holiday on WXXI-TV and radio, as well as great movies at the Little Theatre.

Best regards,

Norm Silverstein [email protected] | @normWXXI 3 Q&A with a WXXI CORPORATE SPONSOR HAPPY EARTH TEA was established in 2011 by Niraj Lama and his wife Mary Boland. After several years of selling fresh organic teas at local markets and online, they opened Leaf Tea Bar in the South Wedge. Leaf Tea Bar offers the experience of expertly and traditionally steeped teas from around the world and a tranquil space to sip, relax and maybe even learn a thing or two. WXXI connects with Co-Owner Niraj Lama to learn more. Q. How did you become so knowledgeable about tea? I’m from the Darjeeling tea growing region of India and spent much of my life around tea gardens prior to moving to America. Due to this rich heritage, I’ve always been curious to learn more about teas from around the world. Over the past many years, I have become very knowledgeable about sourcing high quality organic tea. I work directly with Organic Certifed tea gardens, visiting them periodically to check on crops, taste teas and select only the best to share with our customers. Q. What makes Rochester a great home for Leaf Tea Bar?

EVENTS The people here are very friendly and open to embracing tea traditions from around the world. Plus, hot tea always helps during the cold weather! Q. Can you share some of the events and classes offered at Leaf Tea Bar? Every month we offer tea classes presenting the history of tea, manufacturing processes, steeping tips and of course tastings of a variety of fresh, organic and rare teas. Q. Future plans for Happy Earth Tea and Leaf Tea Bar? Due to the generous support from our customers, there is a demand for more locations. We are currently in the process of looking for a second location. We also plan to grow our online presence to reach a broader audience. Q. Your drink of choice? And the secret to a great cup of tea? My favorite cup, and a little taste of home, is Darjeeling spring tea. Mary’s favorite cup is Roch-Cha- Chai, a special blend we crafted to honor the warm people of Rochester. The right water temperature and steeping time makes a great cup of tea. Q. Holiday gift recommendations for tea lovers? Lovely tea gift sets featuring our best-sellers, teaware and gift cards.
