Club President Vitor Rosão was on hand to welcome him. Those present enjoyed a concert from a local choir and the children were delighted to have their faces painted and have fun on the Disney Mickey Mouse inflatable. Father Christmas handed out chocolates to the children and everyone made the most of the sunshine and had a wonderful time.

Pai Natal returned to the Casa do Povo on the 11th of December to hand out presents and chocolates donated by RCEPI to the children of the families registered with the Faro Food Bank. Since 2009 RCEPI has supplied milk and other much need foodstuffs to supplement the monthly food packs from the Faro Banco Alimentar contra Fome. To date, the Club has given over 80,000 litres of milk at a cost of around 40.000 euros. At the moment there are 47 families in Estoi registered with the Faro Food Bank in need of urgent support.
