In Loukoumi Saves a Park by Nick Katsoris, Loukoumi is disappointed to find her park will close because no one takes care of it. Her friends pitch in to clean up and learn to how important it is to preserve the environment Bob Costas, Loukoumi Saves a Park narrator, has won 28 Emmy awards – more than any sports broadcaster and he is the only person ever to have won Emmys in news, sports, and entertainment. Bob’s peers have named him the “National Sportscaster of the Year” a record eight times, and in 2012, he was elected to the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame. In the summer of 2018, Bob was also inducted into the broadcaster’s ring of the Baseball Hall of Fame. |

On May 4th we had reat afternoon making a difference for the environment at the Rye Nature Center as a wonderful group joined the Loukoumi Foundation planting Sycamore trees and cleaning up the center by picking garlic mustard. Kids in attendance received a copy of Loukoumi Saves a Park for their hard work and special thanks to Mary Gillick for showcasing the center’s animals. Together we can make a difference!
