               COMMENDING BOB ANADELL AND TIMOTHY SANDERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. PETER J. VISCLOSKY

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2005

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to commend two of 
Northwest Indiana's most distinguished citizens, Mr. Bob Anadell and 
Mr. Timothy Sanders. On Saturday, April 23, 2005, they will be honored 
for their exemplary and dedicated service to the community. Their 
praiseworthy efforts will be recognized at the TradeWinds Gala 2005 
banquet at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville, Indiana.
  Bob Anadell has had many positive accomplishments throughout his 
career. He actively contributed to his community through participation 
in various programs aimed at improving opportunities for the people of 
Northwest Indiana. He has been a powerful member of the Northwest 
Indiana Building Trades, Secretary Treasurer of the IBEW State 
Conference, Vice-President of the Indiana State AFL-CIO, Trustee of the 
Lake Area United Way, Board of Directors of TradeWinds, Member of the 
Lake County Integrated Services Delivery Board, Chairman of the Board 
of Directors, Investment Committee, and Executive Committee of the 
Legacy Foundation, as well as Co-Chairman of the Heroes Committee of 
the American Red Cross.
  Tim Sanders enjoyed serving the public for several years as Director 
of Senator Richard G. Lugar's regional office. In addition to serving 
Senator Lugar, Tim has also worked with Senators Dan Quayle and Dan 
Coats. Through skillful networking within the state and federal 
legislative agencies, he established solid relationships benefiting 
Northwest Indiana's businesses and constituents. Tim implemented public 
relations initiatives through television, radio, and print to provide 
information, gather support, and raise visibility on key issues. He has 
also extended his commitment to the community by serving on a number of 
Boards and Associations such as the St. Jude House, Lake Area United 
Way, American Heart Association, and the TradeWinds Rehabilitation 
Center. Although Tim has dedicated his time serving the community, he 
has never neglected to provide support and love to his family. Tim and 
his wife, Tania, have two children and three grandchildren.
  Both of these men have spent years as dedicated members of the 
TradeWinds Board of Directors; each adding their individual business 
acumen and combined strength that has enabled TradeWinds to continue 
providing quality services for children and adults with disabilities.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my distinguished colleagues join me 
in congratulating Bob Anadell and Timothy Sanders. Without their 
enduring love and compassion for the community and children of all ages 
and abilities, TradeWinds would not be what it is today.
