Jonathan Heberline has a story. Most of his coworkers don’t know his story, although he does share it from time to time. It’s a feel-good story, and it inspires those of us who still don’t know what we want to do when we grow up or what path we want to take to continue to reach for the stars. You just might catch one like Jonathan!

Can you say that you were “called” to your job, position or career path? Rick Bannister of neighborhood bridges can, and he proudly tells his story to tug at not only your emotional side, but also to entice those he meets to spread the message, share the successes and ultimately, make a difference in someone’s life who really needs it!

Those familiar with Heartland Bank definitely recognize the McComb name. Several might know the name Tiney McComb, founder of Heartland Bank. Most will know Scott McComb, current Chairman, President and CEO at Heartland Bank. However, there is another McComb at Heartland, and we are fortunate to have a hidden gem in Kailyn McComb, the third generation of the McComb family to commit her career to community banking.

Perfect weather and beautiful course conditions awaited all 26 teams at the 23^rd Annual Heartland Bank Community Foundation Charity Golf Classic. With temps in the 70s, clear skies and a bit of a breeze, this year’s golfers couldn’t ask for more exceptional playing conditions.

The Ohio Association of Foodbanks recently received a donation of processed pork from the Hartford Junior Fair youth livestock auction. The donation, more than 15,000 pounds of pork, will be split among several local charities, including the Food Pantry Network of Licking County, the Ronald McDonald House, Recreation Unlimited, and the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. The donation comes from the annual 4-H and FFA junior fair exhibitors’ livestock auction where Englefield Oil Company, Heartland Bank and Licking County Farm Bureau purchased livestock from the auction and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) processed the meat. This year’s donation from the Hartford Junior Fair youth livestock auction is the largest contribution to date.
