Kristi Lucchese started Lima Moms Network in 2001 to provide support and pool resources among a few of her friends. News of the group spread throughout the town of Lima, Ohio, and today the group has over 350 members.
“It’s like having a whole community in your living room,” says Kristi of the group.
Kristi moved Lima Moms Network to BigTent in 2008, and since then we’ve had the opportunity to learn a little bit more about her and her group:
Q. What does your group like to do for fun?
A. Garage sales and Moms Night Out are popular activities for us. We also post local community events on our calendar.
Q. Why did you switch to BigTent?
A. Before BigTent, we had a lot of members emailing about things they were selling or looking to trade. As our group grew, not everyone wanted to get those emails. BigTent’s Classifieds feature makes it easy for members to buy, sell, and trade things in a separate area. Interested members can subscribe to Classifieds emails for the latest sale updates, while other members can filter out these messages.
Q. What are you up to when you’re not leading Lima Moms Network?
I’m a busy mom of three! I’m the past President of Lima Junior Service League, and I run my own online jewelry business, Princess Designs Online. In my free time, I enjoy reading, reality TV, and Sudoku.
Q. Any future plans for the group?
I’m hoping to form playgroups to provide additional opportunities for members to connect.
