(Kimberly A. Bautista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands has donated $1,000 to the Man\u2019amko Center of the Office on Aging in Garapan in lieu of the association\u2019s annual luncheon for the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>According to HANMI chair Gloria Cavanagh, HANMI decided to reserve $1,000 for the man\u2019amko in place of their annual Thanksgiving meals that they host for the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe try to reserve $1,000 so we can do a donation to the Man\u2019amko Center. We used to do the feedings for Thanksgiving and there were so many organizations that jumped on board and were doing Thanksgiving meals for the man\u2019amko. So, we decided this year that we would just give them money and let them decide because they have so many other expenses like their bingo and other kinds of activities that they do, so it\u2019s just extra money they can use to buy prizes and things they need so we reserved the money for them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Cavanagh said it\u2019s HANMI\u2019s way of showing gratitude to the elderly who paved the way and made the CNMI what it is today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just to thank our man\u2019amko. They make sure we\u2019re grounded, that we remember why we\u2019re all doing this, family values, and they are a big part of where we are today so this is just a \u2018thank you,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Cavanagh said that HANMI will be donating more to other groups following the donation to the Man\u2019amko Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur golf tournament will be in a few months. The date isn\u2019t set yet but as we get closer to that date, we will also do donations to other places,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands has donated $1,000 to the Man\u2019amko&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":294047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-294045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294045","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\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
