What the Association has done

In June the Association had the road to the Evangelistria chapel cleared. A volunteer also cleared the path to the well.

The Association gave a chalice to the village church, the Transfiguration of the Saviour, and saw to its carpets.

In May the board, together with members and volunteers of the Association, replaced the old wooden handrail with new wooden handrails on stone posts.

At the Association’s request, the Municipality of Tinos and the Falatados community repaired the sewer and cleared the path to the well.

New paving, whitewash and cleaning at the old village well. The work was finished in October by volunteers, with materials provided by the Municipality of Tinos.

In May volunteers cleared the stone path down to the well. In August they whitewashed steps and walls, and the road to the village was cleared.

In April the Association’s clubhouse was renovated, with a new kitchen and counter.

In July the Evangelistria steps were repaired. In August volunteers laid new concrete on the worn road at the village entrance.

In June the two bells of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour were taken down for a necessary repair. The large one shows the Transfiguration in relief, twice, with plant decoration at the top and bottom and the inscription “Voice of the Lord. Foundry of Stavros D. Chrysos. In Syros. 1879”. The small one has no decoration but is much older: it bears the date 1766.

In mid-August, just before the 17 August feast, members of the Association repainted the Evangelistria chapel.

In 2012 an abandoned house in the centre of the village passed to the Association. Through volunteer work days and many stages (roof, walls, plaster, electricity, plumbing, floors) it became a small guesthouse, let since 2019, which helps fund the Association’s work.

At the Association’s request, the Falatados community and the Municipality of Tinos resurfaced the worn road with concrete.

The clubhouse roof was sealed and the whole building painted. The basketball court got new nets.

On 2 August 2014, and again on 2 August 2015, the board called on everyone who could help to a day of volunteer work at the Association’s property, the house that later became the guesthouse, to move its restoration forward. Both years many people took part, and a generous treat followed the work.

In January 2014 a beam collapsed in the second arch over the main street. The Association alerted the Municipality and planning office, and the Falatados community took on the repair.

After a letter from the Association, the Municipality of Exomvourgo paved the slope at the village entrance. That year the court and playground were also maintained with gifts from friends of the Association.

Pressed and supervised by the Association, the Municipality paved the steps and courtyard of the Evangelistria chapel. The Association put a handrail on the steps from the road to the church and built bollards on the road from the playground.

Lighting was extended in the village, on the hill and at the playground. A street on the north side was paved. The clubhouse got heating and a pergola and was repainted, as was the playground.

On the Association’s initiative, with the local authorities.

For the Association’s 20th anniversary.

The stone arches were restored; one of them was widened and raised.

Streets and lanes were paved on the Association’s initiative, with the community. They were inaugurated on 5 August 1993.

The square was made as a car park.

The village sewer network, with the community.

The first public lighting to show off the arches. The church of Agios Georgios and the cemetery were renovated.

The first project: an old shop in the village centre was donated and became the clubhouse, where everyone serves themselves.

The villagers raised money, hired a bulldozer and opened the road with volunteer labour.
