Plant the Seed—
Create an Estate Plan
Fewer than half of U.S.
adults have an estate
plan that establishes
how their assets and
estate should be handled
after their death. Many
of those without a plan
intend to get one but
haven’t made it a priority
yet. When it comes to
creating your estate plan,
PBS North Carolina wants
you to be well informed
and prepared.
This month, we’re proud to promote National Estate
Planning Awareness Week, October 17–23, through our Plant
the Seed campaign. We encourage you to “plant the seed”
for your legacy by creating or updating your estate plan.
Congress established National Estate Planning Awareness
Week in 2008 to assist the public in understanding the
importance and benefits of estate planning.
Beverly and Kenneth of Greensboro, longtime supporters of
PBS North Carolina, have acted on their estate plan, thanks
in part to a little help from us. After using our free estate-
planning guide, Planning Your Legacy, they’re organized
and ready to meet with their attorney. The guide was just
what they needed to get their thoughts and documents
organized. As part of their plan, they’re leaving a bequest
to PBS North Carolina. After all, Beverly happily reports,
“We mostly watch PBS NC.” Thank you, Beverly and Kenneth!

Introducing “Rosie’s Rules”
This month, get to know Rosie Fuentes,
a Mexican American girl who is part of a
blended, multicultural family in the new
series Rosie’s Rules. Her dad is
from Mexico City, and her mom
is from rural Wisconsin. Rosie
has a little brother, Iggy, and an
older sister, Crystal, her mom’s child
from her first marriage. Together they
live in Texas with their cat, Gatita. Tune in
Monday, October 3, 8:30 AM on Rootle and 10 AM on
PBS NC, and meet the whole family.
Fun Fall Activities
Enjoy outdoor fun and make family
memories this fall:
• Get cozy under the stars. Grab
some blankets and cider, and see
what you can find in the night sky.
• Go on a fall scavenger hunt. Who can find a pine
cone? What about a spiderweb?
• Read a fall book outside. Bring some books to your
front stoop or favorite park.
Find more fall fun at pbs.org/parents.
Trick-or-Treat
Encourage your child to be a
good neighbor this Halloween
as you help them get ready for
the spooky night. Find costume ideas, DIY decorations
and more at pbs.org/parents/halloween.
Also, watch Rootle, our 24/7 PBS KIDS channel, for a
spook-tacular celebration that includes new Halloween
stories from Alma’s Way and Donkey Hodie and
seasonal favorites from Wild Kratts and Arthur.
