We're excited to introduce to you our next group highlight, San Mateo Mothers Club!

We recently had the opportunity to speak with Michelle P, President of the San Mateo Mothers Club about her group, using BigTent and their goals for the future:

Q: How did your group start and how many members do you have?
A: The group started in the early 90's as a way to get Moms together for camaraderie and to form playgroups for their children. We have over 400 families in our club who participate in our playgroups, children’s outings, Mom outings and special events.

Q: Why did your group choose/or switch to BigTent?
A: Our group had a private Yahoo! Group prior to joining BigTent in 2008. We switched to BigTent to make all aspects of the club more efficient - events, classifieds, payments, database for newsletter mailing, etc.

Q: What is your favorite BigTent feature?
A: My favorite feature is all the various email settings – I can choose to receive forum messages as they come in, classifieds daily, anonymous postings, and I can reply from email instead of constantly logging into the site.

Q: What are a few of the goals your group has for the future?
A: To help more moms find friendship and camaraderie in Motherhood.

Q: When you're not busy with your group what are you up to?
A: I travel near and far, and enjoy reading development books.
