Hi Patti,
You are the Perfect person to be coordinating the Lifestyle sessions!

I want to suggest getting one of the many experienced InstaPot users to share tips and recipes with us. Would be great to have someone start the session with the how-to’s, talk about its different features, then open up for participants to share tips and recipes.

Thanks Patti! Looking forward to seeing you & Steve in June.

Lifestyles topics would they include areas such as: mail services, driver licenses, what type of campground memberships are available and what type of discount services could be available. Just asking since this will be our first national rally.

Hello fellow Heartlanders!
As you may have heard I am coordinating the Lifestyle Presentations this year and wanted to touch base with as many folks as possible who will be attending this years National Rally in Goshen.
Do you have a special talent that you want to share with you HL friends? Is there something special that you would like to take part in while you are in Goshen, now is the time to let us know! Planning has begun, so don’t delay. I look forward to hearing from you!

Patti

Thanks for your question, we will try to address some of these areas as a part of an overall broader topic as well as many other fun and engaging seminars. I’ll be posting some of the topics the next couple of days, we will also be having a series of Technical Presentations that you may also wish to look at. Lots more info to come!

Good Morning Heartlanders,
I’ve added a few of the sessions we are considering, let me know what you think and if you have some ideas or some talents you would like to share. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Hi everyone! I'm on board to do a seminar on Electric Pressure Cookers....like the Instant Pot...again. We had fun back in 2017...lets do it again!

I looking into sharing (and demo-ing) some new recipes with y'all! I'll most likely be asking if any of you would be willing to lend your IP to be used for demonstration...and possibly even yourself. Don't be shy...

Are there any areas that you'd like me to address?



Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Thanks for your input! That is actually something I’m working on, I’ll have some exciting updates very soon, stay tuned!

Good Morning Heartlanders!

If you are planning to attend the 2019 Heartland National Rally, I hope you got registered this past Friday. I think there are only about 25 or so spaces left, so be sure to tell all your HOC friends!

I've got a couple of exciting updates to our Lifestyle Presentations Offerings!!

This year we are offering a brand new session called "Heartland Rocks", now we all know our Heartland Owners Club rocks but here is a new way to tell everyone just one of the many ways we rock! "Heartland Rocks" is a new idea where our members paint beautiful designs, scenes or whatever they wish onto an actual rock. On the rock will be a link to our own "Heartland Rocks" Facebook page. Once the rock or rocks are completed then you will hide your rock (but not too hidden) somewhere around where you travel, then hope that someone will find your rock and go to our Facebook page to let us know they found the rock and where they might be hiding it. Can you imagine Heartland rocks all over the USA and Canada! If you want a sneak preview of how it works check out the "Goshen Rocks" Facebook page. Our HOC page will preview at the National Rally.

We are also going to have a NEW Instant Pot session with our very own Instant Pot guru, Kelly Barnett, she will be cooking up some new ideas for what we can do with our Instant Pot.

There will also be an introduction seminar to Essential Oils by HOC member Arlene Cherry......she'll be coming all the way from Canada to the National Rally!

Also new this year we will be having a session on Wine Glass painting. This will be a make and take session. Your special glass will be cured and ready to sip some of your favorite wines by the end of the rally.

Keep watching the forum, this is just a sampling of the fun things we have in store for you this year. As always, I would love to get some feedback from you. If you have a hidden talent that you'd like to share, please let me know.

Happy Trails!........Until next time Heartlanders!

Patti

WOW Patti - great job. I just took a glass painting class and it was a blast. Can't wait to sign up for it.

Love the Heartland Rock idea. Yes - it will be fun to find HL Rocks across the country.

So as I was reading this and thought that it was a pretty cool idea so I came up with a quick logo. Maybe some of you might have some other thoughts on the logo, if you do please let me know.

I am not good at hand lettering and saw where the Facebook page would be written on the back of the painted rocks. So my question for Mark is, can you make a very small vinyl sticker “stencil” that we could put on the back and remove after filling in the letters with paint to leave a link on our rocks? Possibly just a plastic stencil material if you have that type material, that could be reused over and over.

I would love to know how people record their travels. We travel full time but I am not accomplished enough to set up an on line record. I would love suggestions. Diaries, photographs, any and all suggestions are welcome.

Calendar in your phone for day in/day out/travels/etc. With turning on location in your settings, all photos can also be geo-tagged to correlate to the calendar locations.
