This year boutique will open April 12 to 16 from 4 to 8 pm Wednesday to Friday and , Saturday from 10 am-7 pm, and Sunday from
11 am to 5pm.
To make sure there is a large selection, Rebound is holding a dress drive March 6 to 11. You can drop off any formal wear and accessories at Rebound in Sarnia or at Lambton Mall Friday and Saturday March 10 and 11.
Rebound is also looking for volunteers for the boutique days in April. The Cinderella Project needs everything from personal shoppers and seamstresses.
