About Rotary Club Estoi Palace International Club No. 80155 Registered 2nd September, 2008 Chartered on 26th of October, 2008 The Rotary movement expands across the world through new Rotary Clubs. To form a new Rotary Club is called to Charter a Club. Our club was set up by three founder members and some past Rotarians who between them decided to charter a new International Rotary Club in Algarve. The founders chose Estoi Palace as its base for a variety of reasons, including its convenient location and soon-to-be fabulous facilities Our objective was to have the stipulated number of charter members by the end of July 2008 and to then, in August, apply for membership in Rotary International to become a full Rotary Club in September 2008. We are pleased to say that we met those objectives.
Signing the formal documents for the application
The formal inauguration was held in October 2008 when we received the Charter Letter, presented by the Rotary District Governor, Teresa MAYER.
