Holiday Party Speech

I watched this great Ted Talk about body language changing your life and realized that I will be making not one but three holiday party speeches this year.

After several google searches and multiple pages of results I have elected to write my own and am sharing it with the hope that a speech giver who dose not see the need to re invent the wheel can use this.

The following is being given at three different American Red Cross holiday parties in East Texas 2013

Good Evening volunteers, staff and friends. If I could pull your attention for a few moments. 2013 has been an amazing year for us at the Red Cross. We have seen our volunteer grow in numbers and in responsibility. We have been able to help those in need in a timely, respectful and professional way. we have had our bumps as we have seen changes and begun the process of reengineering, however 24/7 our communities are getting to know us and giving us the opportunity to serve them.

I came to East Texas thrilled to be joining one of the largest most respected volunteer driven organizations in the world and after year of long days and hard work I understand how very much of our organization depends on each and every one of you.

Thank you all for giving me and the Red Cross of East Texas one of the best years ever.

Please raise your glasses

May y'all have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp, and peace in your heart.

Cheers
