### 🌟 This Week’s Theme: Gratitude in Action!

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we do. Tonight, we’ll explore how expressing appreciation can strengthen our relationships, boost our confidence, and uplift others. From heartfelt thank-you stories to gestures of recognition, learn how to turn “thank you” into powerful communication that inspires and connects.

***

### 🎤 What to Expect

✨ Warm Welcome & Icebreaker
“Thankful Moment” – Share one small thing you’re grateful for this week and why it made a difference.
✨ Prepared Speeches & Table Topics

• Feature Speeches: Speakers will illustrate “gratitude in action” with real-life anecdotes—listen for the impact of genuine appreciation.
• Gratitude Table Topics: Draw a prompt asking you to thank someone (real or imagined) in a 1–2 minute impromptu—express your gratitude on the spot!

✨ Evaluation & Feedback
Help our speakers amplify their appreciation with feedback from:

• 🧠 Speech Evaluators – Highlighting moments of authenticity and suggesting ways to deepen connection
• 🗣️ Ah-Counter – Tracking “um,” “ah,” and filler words to keep the message pure
• 📖 Grammarian – Noting vivid language, emotional resonance, and tonight’s Word of the Day
• ⏱️ Timer – Ensuring every expression of gratitude stays within its time slot
