Other individuals who already have friends may want to meet up regularly with people w ho not only share a (4) .......... interest but also want to cult ivate that interest. Then there are those clubs peopl e join for professional reasons with a (5) .......... to advancing their careers. Again, communication is important because the purpose of such clubs is to allow members to int eract with people in a similar line of (6) ......... so that they can share information.

Communication is also central to clubs that provide a service to the communit y. It is (7)............ accepted that people working together as a group will, more often than not, be more effective than individuals working on their own. Therefore, clubs made up of people who are committed to helping others all rely on communication among their members to (8)...... success.
