A charity fund raising dinner was held by the Rotary Club of Estoi Palace international at the Estoi Palace Pousada on November 20.
The guest of honour was Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza, who gave an interesting talk on the Modern History of Portugal.

The 160 guests enjoyed a first class meal which was followed by a prize raffle draw.
