He organised together with the
members of our society a lottery in the Coffee shop of Mr Toumasatou
(now: Beau Rivage). With the lottery’s money they renovated the theatre and bought chairs. Mr Theodoros Kapouralos was a very active president who helped in the progress of our village. Forty three years after his death, the administrative council of our society recognises his offer and decided to do this tribute.
