Rotary Club Estoi Palace International held its semi-annual quiz night on Friday, 31st October and achieved another great result. € 1408 were raised for the club’s ongoing project to supplement the Food Bank’s monthly parcels with milk for the underprivileged families of Estoi.
As milk prices have increased and the families requiring assistance has increased, so had the budget required.
The two annual quizzes go a long way to funding this project. To date Rotary Club Estoi Palace has delivered over 30.000 litres of milk to less fortunate families registered with the Faro Food Bank.
Twelve teams, with a total of 76 quizzers, competed in a good-natured but competitive contest to answer a wide range of international trivia questions, with the scores being very close going into the table rounds. The first 3 teams comprised 9 different nationalities.
Quiz master Shirley Dunne kept everyone on their toes with some additional fund raising items during the evening. Virgilio and his excellent team at A Floresta in Almancil dished up a tasty two-course meal, and kept the participants well-watered with good value drinks and excellent service.
A big thank you also to our sponsors, IBC Security, Harmat Pest Control and Golf Auto, plus those who donated prizes, the Natural Meat Company, Restaurants Aquarelle, Floresta and Vaults, plus Jayne Jackson Beauty Salon and Allaser Beauty Salon, Quintaverde Gym and ChilliDelicious.
Don’t worry if you missed the action; the club will be organizing another quiz night next April.
