Dec 12    LAFTA Presents The Greatest Gift
No one knows how much money Gregory DeLaMar has.  What they do know about Gregory is; he flaunts his money and he is arrogant.  Seemingly, his heart is not touched with any form of compassion. 
 
It’s no surprise to the small Lebanon community that DeLaMar is sponsoring----and making a big tadoo over a “talent show.”   At the conclusion of the talent show, Gregory will award “the greatest gift” of the season.  He will be the solo adjudicator and his criteria must be met:  75% of each contestant’s total points go toward their plan of how they would spend the prize money should they win.  Only 25% goes toward their talent.  DeLaMar wants people to use the money as he would---with much bravado.
 
DeLaMar tallies the points and makes his final decision.  No one, including DeLaMar, could have predicted what “the greatest gift” would actually be.
