(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For the second straight year, McDonald\u2019s Saipan will be a diamond sponsor at this year\u2019s NMTI Gala through their generous donation of $5,000.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have really grown our relationship with NMTI over the years as they continue to provide our community with trades education in areas critically needed,\u201d said Marcia Ayuyu, owner of JCA Inc., which operates McDonald\u2019s of Guam and Saipan. \u201cJust as McDonald\u2019s supports education, this is our way of saying we support their training efforts.  We just want to be a part of that growth by investing in their annual dinner fundraiser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NMTI chief executive officer, Agnes M. McPhetres said that NMTI is blessed to have stakeholders that believe education is the key to economic stability. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrades education is quite more expensive as it requires countless hours of hands-on practice. I firmly believe that our community sees the need for NMTI, thus the strong support from individuals like Joe, Marcie and the Ayuyu family,\u201d said McPhetres.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from this year\u2019s NMTI Gala will go to purchasing equipment and student tools in the construction trades areas that will widen students\u2019 hands-on experience.  <\/p>\n<p>Gala tickets are priced at $100 per person and can be bought by calling Ross Manglona at (670) 322-6684 or Julie Manglona at (670) 783-7682. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second straight year, McDonald\u2019s Saipan will be a diamond sponsor at this year\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":278100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[37,21570,3032,479],"class_list":["post-278099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-education-2","tag-julie-manglona","tag-marcia-ayuyu","tag-nmti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
