MTI Hosting Silent Auction to Benefit the Steve Hett Brain Tumor Research Foundation at M.D. Anderson
MTI in Mohall invites the public to attend the 1st Annual Silent Auction and Vendor Show to benefit the Steve Hett Brain Tumor Research Foundation at M.D. Anderson in Houston, Texas. The event is being held in conjunction with the Mohall Parade of Lights and Chamber of Commerce Light Up the Night Social on Friday, November 26th.
Enjoy refreshments as you get a start on your Christmas shopping by bidding on a variety of Silent Auction items and browse the merchandise for sale by area vendors, including Cookie Lee Jewelry and Tupperware. If you are a vendor interested in having a booth, please contact Wanda Emerson to reserve a space. All proceeds will be donated to the Steve Hett Brain Tumor Research Foundation.
Y.K. Alfred Yung, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Neuro-Oncology at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, commented about the work that is possible due to funds from the Steve Hett Research Foundation:
"We are focusing our research efforts on understanding the biology of malignant brain tumors as this is key to reducing the recurrence, and eventually eradication of all brain tumors. Through the advancement of molecular biology and molecular genetics, we are now able to identify specific genetic alterations associated with the formation and progression of specific forms of cancer, including glioblastoma. These specific molecular and genetic alterations are beginning to be used as target for developing specific drugs with the goal that if the drug can eliminate the specific alteration that occurs in the tumor cells and not the normal cells, then the drug can eliminate the tumor cells without causing toxicity to the normal organ systems. There are still many unanswered questions as this process varies among cancer types and among different patients with the same cancer. We are working very hard to identify the right and the best therapeutic combinations that will allow us to provide individualized, tailor made, therapy for each individual patient."

Rewards Of Rural Employment

Employment opportunities for rural people not involved with agricultural aspects of the Upper Plains can seem limited. Outsiders often wonder how they could support their families where cities, and the occupations to be found in them, are scarce.
Midwest TeleServices International's Fessenden branch helps provide an answer. The company provides contact center services.
Raquel Nachatilo, MTI director of human resources in the Mohall office, said, "People in our rural area are hard workers. They are dedicated and care about their jobs. That contributes to a lower employee turnover rate. And, in turn, we offer career advancement opportunities right in their hometown."
The Fessenden office is housed in an historic building renovated to meet the need of a modern workplace, the old brick Quarve Building on a corner of Main Street, which was once a large furniture store. Meeting rooms, a lounge, offices and workstations now fill spaces, which housed showrooms of furniture. Busy workers replace busy shoppers, but customer needs are still a priority, and MTI personnel work hard to make their customers happy.
MTI employee Sheila Larsen, of Bowdon, recently earned a reward. She out-did the hundreds of employees in the 16 MTI centers and received a 40-inch LCD HD television.
The MTI team pauses for a minute to present themselves in a group. Larsen won the prize this time, but every day is a team effort. Each person contributes to the success of the others.
"People are always telling each other, "Good job." It helps keep the morale going," says Larsen. She adds, "They give incentives all the time. Sometimes it's a cash bonus. This time it was a TV. Second prize was a laptop computer."
A representative from the head office in Mohall delivered the television early in the morning of September 14. Larsen found it when she came in to work.
"I like that it’s very flexible working there. If you're sick or need a day off, you don’t have to look for your own replacement; that's nice. The people you work with are like family; everybody's there to support you in whatever you do. And you can work your way up the pay scale pretty fast. When it's storming, we don't have to wonder if we can go home. They just send us home before it gets too bad. I enjoy working there; I love the people. I'm glad MTI is here.
