To Mr Athanasios Lingos
President of Elefsina Basketball Club

Dear Mr President, dear Thanasis,

On behalf of all the members of the Kazantzakis Museum’s Board of Directors and its staff, I would like to thank you warmly for the invitation, welcome, hospitality and every form of assistance offered by Elefsina Basketball Club and you personally. Your contribution helped make “The KAZANTZAKIS MUSEUM travels… to Elefsina”, co-organised with the Municipality of Elefsina and OKE BC, a success. We also warmly thank all your colleagues, particularly Messrs Mailis, Manalis, Maroungas and Balafas, for their individual contributions.

Your inspiration to highlight the value of team sport, as expressed by Nikos Kazantzakis in his travel book “Travelling: England”, and your proposal for an exhibition about the Museum and our great writer, together with educational activities for young people in Elefsina, demonstrate your deep commitment to cultural values. These should be cultivated in younger generations alongside their wider education and physical exercise. Your idea enabled a Museum colleague to introduce children to the life and work of this great thinker.

Your trust in the Museum’s work encourages us and strengthens our efforts to reach new audiences. We sincerely hope our collaboration continues and becomes an example for other organisations such as OKE BC.

With appreciation and thanks,

Professor Michalis Taroudakis
President of the Kazantzakis Museum
