(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Smaller Indiana, www.SmallerIndiana.com marked an important milestone in December as its membership passed 4,000 members. To celebrate, Smaller Indiana will host an informal event at the Rathskeller (401 E. Michigan Street) on January 20th, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Founded in December of 2007, Smaller Indiana is an online community established to harness social networks to strengthen Indiana’s real life community, culture and commerce. It started with an E mail invitation to 50 people and quickly went viral through word-of-mouth.
“We have come a long way in our first year,” said Pat Coyle, founder of Smaller Indiana. “We started as an idea, and now we’re beginning to have an impact on business, politics, and the arts, and more people are taking notice and joining us.”
Despite its steady growth, Smaller Indiana has maintained its personal feel through special interest groups. “Smoosiers” – Smaller Indiana Hoosiers – can find like-minded individuals who share their interest in arts, politics, literature, theater, technology, food, economics and much more. Today the site includes more than 360 different special-interest groups.
“In addition to on-line connections many of the small groups host face-to-face events, where members can strengthen the relationships they have built on line,” said Coyle. “The 4,000 member celebration is just one more opportunity to bring people together.”
There is no fee to attend the event, but registrations are requested. To register for the event or for more information visit: http://www.smallerindiana.com/events/smaller-indiana-4000-member.
