It would be a huge disservice to your audience to provide a complete, written speech for you to present. A speech, especially a welcome speech should be personalized for those to whom you are presenting it. If you were to give some canned, prepackaged presentation, they are going to know it. If I were in the audience, I would likely leave in the middle of it insulted, and I would not put it past others to do the same.

Take a look at past speeches and definitely take some cues from those when you write your own speech. Ask yourself the following:

What message do I want to communicate?

What are some good examples or stories I can share that will help to illustrate my message?

Are there any visual aids I can use?

Then, start writing.

Here is the important part: practice it. Practice it as you write it. Practice it as you edit it. Practice it in front of a mirror, in front of other people, and keep practicing it.

When your speech sounds right to your ear and those to whom you practice it, it is done. Keep in mind that when you give the speech, it should sound like your voice, not the sound of your physical voice, but the manner in which you speak. Be comfortable, be conversational, be a formal as the event demands, but as colloquial as you can. Use natural humor, and integrate some planned "rabbit hunts" (slightly off topic stories that provide contextual elements for your audience).

Do this and your speech will be the gift it should be to your audience.
