Women with Moxie Expands to Tampa

On November 19, 2008, Women With Moxie will hold its first Tampa, Florida mixer. The Tampa Chapter began accepting memberships this month and expects to gain many members at or after its first mixer. Hosting the Tampa mixers will be Martina Clements of MassMutual The Levin Financial Group, and Natasha Gwatney of Mary Kay Cosmetics.

Women With Moxie was founded in Sarasota, Florida in August of 2007 with a mission to bring local business women together to build valuable friendships and business relationships. Once per month, the group meets for social interaction and business networking in a relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere. Women With Moxie is inexpensive to join, and membership comes with a bevy of benefits. Women may post their profiles online, along with events, requests and business news. They also gain free admission to the monthly mixers and discounted admission to Member2Member events.

Women With Moxie is geared toward creative business women who find social interaction with like-minded women to be beneficial. Their Moxie Mixers provide a wonderful opportunity for business women to make connections, find new clients, talk about their expertise, enjoy some girl bonding, and rub elbows with other successful women. Moxie Mixers are casual in nature, allowing members to connect without the high pressure of some other networking groups.

Tampa will be host to the third chapter of Women With Moxie. The Inaugural Mixer in Tampa, Florida will take place on November 19, 2008 from 7-9 p.m. at The Grape, which is located in the International Mall in Tampa, Florida. The Grape is a one-of-a-kind concept introducing two separate but complementary businesses running side by side: Retail Seller and Wine Bar. The Grape Retail Seller is an inviting wine shop offering over 120 unique wines from around the world. At The Grape Wine Bar, guests have the opportunity to sip the same 120+ wines by the bottle, glass or Grapes by the Bunch flight along with small-plate gourmet fare specially prepared to complement the wines. Menu favorites include spinach and applewood smoked bacon spread, shrimp remoulade, Grape chops, Mediterranean quesadillas, and The Grape's own Sensual Chocolate fondue.
