I would now like to introduce our speaker____________________________

Thank you, (speaker), while we now take a 7^th tradition break, would you please come up with a topic

Repeat topic for group….

It is suggested that we exercise humility when sharing so that everyone that wants to participate in the discussion has a chance to do so. Please limit your share to 3 minutes. At 2 minutes, a Spiritual Timekeeper will announce “one minute” to wrap up your share. Please respond by saying “Thank you” and finish your share. The Timekeeper will say “Time” when time is up. Would someone please volunteer to be our spiritual timekeeper.

Thank you (Timekeeper name)

Will now go to a show of hands and the speaker will call on people to speak.
