Catherine Ansel, owner of Couture Boutique in Westchase, hosted a night of fun, friendship and fashion in honor of her store's 10 year anniversary.  Over 40 guests, including many Women in Action members, stopped in to sip champagne and shop at the designer resale boutique. A portion of the night's proceeds benefited the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay.   

Catherine shared her story of how she became involved with the Crisis Center and the importance of supporting their life-saving programs. Catherine also donated a beautiful designer handbag for the chance drawing. 

Women in Action is a philanthropic group of women that meet four times each year.   At each lunch meeting members learn about topics that impact the community. Through a $1,000 annual investment, members are able to sponsor a project within the Crisis Center related to Women in Action topics.  To learn more about Women in Action, please visit the Crisis Center's website. 

A special thank you to Catherine Ansel, Linda Zipkin and Lois Older for all of their work in putting this event together and for choosing the Crisis Center as the beneficiary for the night!
