CALL THE MIDWIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2023 5.1: MON DEC 25 7PM/ 8:30PM (R)
A Call the Midwife Christmas special has become a festive tradition along with turkey and all the trimmings, and this year we are in for another yuletide treat! It is now 1969 and more babies are being born in hospitals than ever before. Pressure on maternity beds remains extremely high but Poplar is coping better than most due to the work of Nonnatus House and the popularity of home births under the auspices of the Sisters.

A WORD OF THANKS.
Anything But Predictable. Usually, banks make you pick between high yields and rewards. We do things differently here. We pay high dividends on balances. Plus, you’ll earn rewards with each debit transaction and get more ways to cash them in.
We’ve earned our stripes with this one.
Theresa Spencer NMPBS Development Director
RioGrandeCU.org/Zia
Federally insured by NCUA. We don’t make you jump through a bunch of cumbersome hoops to earn rewards or dividends. You don’t have to do things like have a bunch of transactions, or eStatements to qualify. You’ll earn dividends on balances $500 and greater. There is a monthly fee if you don’t keep a daily balance of $500. You can waive that if you’re over 55 years of age. So, if you don’t plan to keep $500 in the account and you’re younger than 55, get our Free Checking account. It pays rewards too.
Dear Donor, To everyone who made a gift of support or named NMPBS in their estate plan in 2023 — thank you! It’s not too late to make your tax-deductible gift by December 31. And it’s never too late to add NMPBS to your estate plan, supporting your community by supporting public television. We’re proud to announce a new, free legacy-planning tool for members in 2024 — NMPBS Giving Docs. The platform will help you create a legally binding will, codicil, donor-advised fund grant, stock gift, and/or an IRA qualified charitable distribution; increasing your tax benefits, and supporting the public television programming you love! For those who have taken advantage of FreeWill, thank you! Unfortunately, our contract with FreeWill will end on December 31. You can still use the service, but NMPBS will not be able to offer you a custom link or thank you for your bequest. Watch this space in January for more information about NMPBS Giving Docs. Happy Holidays and many thanks for your generous support this year!
