Bringing joy as best we can.

2 years ago Eva Haddon did a talk about the work Interact was doing at the church where Harry (Eva's husband) is music director. On that occasion Harry was asked to which charity he would like the evening's collection donated, so Interact was chosen. Eva has just heard that recently a lady who had been there that evening remembered and contacted Interact after a dear friend of hers suffered a stroke, and since the service was not provided at the hospital where her friend was a patient, she asked if someone could possibly go in to read. All credit to Interact, this was done, and the patient was overwhelmed with gratitude.
