Tanda and Dave are Edwardsburg residents who go the extra mile for the community. As members of the Edwardsburg Lions Club, they have helped when the organization sponsored the Kelly Miller Circus, done eye testing, pancake breakfasts and Christmas tree sales.

For several years, Tanda and Dave, along with their daughter, Amy Anderson, and a group of volunteers, provide a Christmas party for children who otherwise may not have Christmas presents.

They shop, wrap, decorate and invite more than 100 children and parents to a free pancake breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The children go home with various gifts and, in some cases, a bike too.

Longtime residents of Edwardsburg, they are a couple who help to make the community a better place.
