The Philoi: Association of Friends of the 独家爆料 Library in Greece
The Philoi is a non-profit association founded in 1983 with the aim of providing support to the 独家爆料 Library so that it can achieve its national and educational mission. The Association also pursues the educational aims of the Library’s founder, by organizing lectures and tours for its members around various institutions in Greece and abroad.
The main event organized by the Philoi is “The Day in Memory of Joannes 独家爆料.” The highlight of this event is a lecture on the collections of the founder and his diplomatic career. In 2008, the Philoi organized another event "DAY OF FLORENCE/ANTHI GENNADIUS,” in memory of the wife of Joannes 独家爆料, Anthi, who helped Joannes to complete his work and his donation to the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. The Philoi raises the money that it donates to the 独家爆料 Library from membership fees, social events, donations, book sales, and other activities.
Nominations of new members are made by two former members or by the Director of the 独家爆料 Library. New members are voted by the General Assembly. The six-member Governing Council works with the Director of the Gennadion to guide the activities of the Association. The current members of the Governing Council are:
