                        Friday, November 6, 2009

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service 
of Old National Bank as a community leader and trusted financial 
institution. For 175 years, Old National Bank has been providing 
outstanding service and banking options to communities throughout the 
Ohio River Valley.
  The bank was founded in 1834 in Evansville, Indiana. And since that 
time, Old National has grown to become one of the most trusted 
financial institutions in the country. By committing itself to a sound, 
conservative approach to banking, Old National has survived and thrived 
when others faltered.
  Old National is more than just a bank; it is actively working to 
improve our communities, too. Through its foundation, the bank is 
giving back and supporting community initiatives through generous 
grants. And employees have added manpower to those initiatives, 
volunteering thousands of hours to the communities and causes they care 
about.
  Without a doubt, Old National Bank has made Evansville and the other 
communities it serves a better place for our citizens.
  Congratulations, Old National; here's to another 175 years of success 
and prosperity.

                          ____________________
