Words from Brian Bird
Writer/Producer of When Calls The Heart
Brian Bird came to Nashville for the Dove Awards, as the movie for When Calls the Heart was nominated. It did not win, but the Nashville Hearties won some quality coffee time with Brian. Special thanks to Brian for taking the time and for WORD Entertainment for hosting us, especially John Chapman who provided support to Brian as well as bagels for our appreciative group.

I sent Brian home with a Hearties mug to keep us Hearties on his mind.
And to make his life easier, Brian Bird’s eNews submission is a video made just for Hearties. Enjoy!

Meet the Webmasters
I started the creating the www.HeartiesWCTH.com website about two weeks after I joined the Hearties Group Facebook page in March 2014. I was finding it difficult to find posts that I knew I had read on Facebook and I also believe that this is a movement that should be recorded with historical posts, news, and pictures along the way. I knew that we could reach more Hearties out there who were not on Facebook or Twitter if we had a “.com” site to share. The admins agreed and provided beautiful graphics and elegant words and have worked tirelessly with me on ways to improve the site. A few months later, as it became a full time job, angel Nikki Getman stepped up to assist me with loading pictures and lovely Hearties’ artwork, etc. Together, we are committed to keeping up with all the great initiatives Hearties may conjure.
In all things virtual Coal Valley,
-Sheri, Hearties Webmaster

Hi, I’m new to the Hearties so I’m having a hard time trying to subscribe to the newsletter, and understand how it works out, can y’all help me out??????
I wasn’t able to take the poll that answers the three questions, nor did the map work. I signed up in a few months ago and have yet to receive a newsletter. Just wondering if This group still active or is there a new one?
