I would like to propose a toast: to friendship!
Though friends may come and go, they shape
us like rocks in a stream. And, though we do
not see their effects in the moment, a lifetime
of friendship makes each of us smooth and
complete: the best of what we can be. So, let
us drink to friendships like those here today!
1. Prepare. Gather your thought and decide on the
details you would want to share. Then make an
outline. This will help you be organized and brief.
2. Respect. While fun and humor are the objectives,
avoid mentioning painful memories or in appropriate
details from the past.
3. Appropriateness. Introduce yourself and your
relationship to the person of the hour. Remind
yourself to refer to the purpose of the event.
