INTERACT REPORT 1985 In previous years Interact has concentrated so lely on fundraising and service without leaving anytime for the development of interaction between the club in the schoo l, community and international fields. During the year we have tried to succeed in stressing involvement within the club and community by not restrain ing to the pattern of activities adhered to in former years.
