How do I give a vote of thanks?

How do I give a vote of thanks in an independent day ceremony (party)? It will be involving various speakers and performances. I also have social anxiety, how can I overcome this weakness? Please help
Thanks.

Hi!

From what I understand, it's like a farewell and thank you speech. Depending on your profession, it can take different routes. If you funmail me and let me know what profession you're retiring from, I can have more concrete examples/ assistance for you.

Until then, here are some examples of different vote of thanks speeches:
