A very pleasant surprise awaited the members of our guitar ensemble who arrived for their scheduled rehearsal on Friday, November 27, 2015. In the middle of our hall and in front of the music stands, two large boxes containing ten brand-new electro-classical guitars were waiting, ready to be opened...

| Ten guitars sponsored to the Rodotopi Guitar Ensemble of Ioannina |
This is a particularly significant development for the growth of our association’s infrastructure. It was made possible thanks to donations, on one hand, from the Brotherhood of Rodotopians of Athens (an association of residents of the village of Rodotopi living in Athens) which offered us ten guitars and, on the other hand, from Panagiotis D. Papadiamantis and Maria P. Papadiamantis, whose funds were used to purchase another two guitars. The Rodotopi Guitar Ensemble expresses its warm thanks to the donors and commits to taking all necessary actions to ensure safe protection and maintenance conditions for the donated instruments, so they may serve the association's purposes for which they are intended. At the same time, as always, all procedures required by the Statute for accepting donations and recording them in the Property Ledger or the Revenue Ledger of the Association are strictly followed.
a) The donation of the Brotherhood of Rodotopians of Athens
In recent years, the Rodotopians of Athens, through the commendable initiative of the late Vangelis P. Kassis, have allocated a very significant amount in the form of donations to the collective entities of Rodotopi, including, among others, the Guitar Ensemble and the Progressive Association of Rodotopi. In this context, our association becomes a recipient of a donation from the Brotherhood of Rodotopians of Athens for the second time (its first donation included 20 professional music stands with corresponding guitar footstools and music stand lights), which confirms in the best possible way their love and contribution to our village and region.
b) The donation of Panagiotis D. Papadiamantis and Maria P. Papadiamantis
It is a great honor for the Rodotopi Guitar Ensemble that people such as the family of Panagiotis D. Papadiamantis have repeatedly offered significant amounts of money to support our association. They show trust and essentially recognize and foresee another aspect of development to which we aspire to contribute.
