During the celebrations, the association’s former presidents were honoured for their long-standing contribution, as well as the presidents of its women’s section, “Souliotisses”. All the speakers noted the association’s rich ethnic and philanthropic contribution, as well as its cultural work demonstrated with the Epirot Museum, featuring traditional costumes, utensils used in Epirus and the association’s archives. 
The president of the association, Efthymios Pappas, also referred to the need to pass on the baton to the younger generation, calling on young people to become members and to participate in the activities of “Anagennisis” and “Souliotisses”.
