About Us
Purpose
The purpose of the Boone Service League is to provide individual
development and leadership experience for women and to promote community
service.
Who We Are
Established in 1957 as an auxiliary women's organization to the
Boone Jaycees, the Boone Service League has grown to be one of the High
Country's largest women's service groups. Today, the organization boasts a
membership of 60 and is openly seeks new members who are interested in providing
much-needed service while meeting new friends.
What We Do
Throughout the year the Boone Service League serves the High
Country through a number of events and services. The Fashion Show and Silent
Auction are our largest fundraisers. These two events are largely responsible
for the thousands of dollars given through grants to local non-profit
organizations. The Larry Headley Memorial Safety Clinic, celebrating it's 20th
anniversary this year, is also a successful fundraiser and community enhancing
event. The money from the Safety Clinic, given through grants, is designated for
local non-profit programs specifically for children. Throughout the year Service
League members are busy in various community programs meeting a multitude of
needs.
Who We Serve

Boone Service League over the past 46 years. Those organizations receiving
