What is the purpose of the talk? [originaltext]It’s great to see all our staff,

It’s great to see all our staff, young and old, from all our branches together here this evening. Well, without any further introduction, I’d like to present this year’s Award in Design Excellence to Lisa Daniels. As many of you know, Ms. Daniels has developed a new, efficient water distribution system that decreases the amount of energy needed to provide hot water. Next week, she will travel to Chicago and show it to the public at the Spring Architecture Expo. The product has already received strong reviews in trade magazines, and we expect it to be a great success in the future. Ms. Daniels, please join me on the stage to accept this award.
