She had a brush with the acting community community when she met and talked to Jane Curtain. "She was so nice and friendly. I really enjoyed talking to her, recalls Bonita as she 4' .•I':'" Bonita Rivers has picked up the gauntlet to meet life's challenges head-on. Her determination and business business acumen have proven to be her strongest allies in her quest to open her boutique in Bowmanville. In March of 1989, she started her business, Bonita's Clothing Boutique, and next year looks forward to opening new stores. Congratulations, Bonita, and all the best to you in the future. Bonita Rivers is the own- !^ e Oshawa Shopping Cen- er of Bonita's Clothing Boutique Boutique on King Street East in Bowmanville. "I always knew what I wanted to do," Bonita says as she unpacks the latest shipment of handmade jewellery jewellery she had chosen to stock her showcases. "I wanted to be in fashion retailing. retailing. I love it." Bonita has a finely-honed sense of what the public wants - especially the young business woman or homemaker. "I stock lots of separates and wardrobeextending wardrobeextending accessories,", she continues as her dainty hands sort through the big, bold brass and brushed steel earrings. "I seem to have a lot of trouble with shipments," shipments," she says with a touch of irritation as she realizes realizes that some pairs are missing. "But, I wouldn't want to do anything else." She picks up the phone and, with infinite patience, tries to straighten out the shipping error while , I browse through the enticing array of attractively- displayed fall and winter merchandise. When she's through, she picks up the loose thread of conversation again. "After I finished grade 13 at Cour- tice Secondary School, I enrolled enrolled in a two-year fashion merchandising course at Sir Sandford Fleming Community Community College in Peterborough. Peterborough. I got involved in everything I could." she says. It is easy to see why she was picked to be class representative. When she smiles, her blue eye twinkle and her whole face beams enthusiasm. "I was chosen to give all the talks to the visiting students who were interested in the fashion merchandising course and I also gave seminars at area high schools on Career Days. I like being involved in things. And, I like to learn everything I can about the business. I still take courses." Bonita has extended her knowlege of the fashion industry industry and its inner workings workings by taking night courses in Accounting, Business Law, Buying, Fashion Trends and Marketing. "It is important to know your market when you're in any business; but, especially the fashion business," she states. This hard-won knowldge has paid off. "I was fortunate. When I opened last March, the merchandise merchandise I bought was nearly nearly all sold out before the fall and winter stock arrived." But establishing the business business was not without its obstacles. obstacles. When Bonita approached banks to see about obtaining a business loan to get the boutioue started, she ran into tne first of the hurdles she would have to leap in the race on the business fast-track. "Because I was so young," she says, "the banks wouldn't back me. So, my fiance, fiance, Paul (Rivers) and I decided decided to go it alone." With that hurdle behind them, Bonita opened her doors for business in March 1989 and has been running ever since. "If anyone wants to make their business work, they have to put everything they have into it. I worked seven days a week 'round the clock. And, now that I'm more organized, I can take a day off once in a while. So I'm only working six days a week now," she says with a little grimace. Bonita know the fashion industry could be an unforgiving unforgiving climate to survive in. "During the second year at Sir Sandford Fleming I went to work for Brnemorc's in describes her meeting with the comedy star. Bonita ran into her second second hurdle with the name of her business. "People had the idea that the word "boutique" "boutique" automatically meant that the merchandise would be expensive. But, when people people started to come in and realized that they were getting getting quality clothing at a good price, they became repeat repeat customers." The clothing she stocks lends itself to everyday life very well. The mix and match co-ordinates in comfortable comfortable and easy-care fabrics fabrics such as corduroy and poly-blends can be dressed up for any occasion with a touch of class with accessories accessories chosen from her wide variety of hand-screened scarves, hand-made jewellery, jewellery, belts or chains. And, the price range is within modest-budget reach. On October 7th, at Ebe- neezer United Church in Courtice, Bonita became Mrs. Paul Rivers and a whole new career is on the horizon. "We would like to start a family, open some more stores, not necessarily another clothing outlet, and continue to grow and learn everything I can. I feel that life is a learning process. You only get out of it what you put into it." Bonita bubbles with enthusiasm enthusiasm about everything she's involved in. That she enjoys life to the fullest is obvious when you converse with her. She has an aura of controlled energy surrounding surrounding her. This is one determined, hard-working young lady who will be a positive force in the business world here, or wherever she decides to locate and in whatever she decides to tackle as she keeps striding towards the winner's tape.
