The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier, Inc. is an organization committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.
The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier is celebrating its 75th anniversary!
Through the years, the Junior League has played an integral part of improving the quality of life in the Shreveport-Bossier area. Its members have been instrumental in developing and supporting many important programs. These important programs are made possible through volunteers and the financial support made possible by various fund-raising programs, including the sale of cookbooks.
The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier began its cookbook fund-raising with A Cook's Tour in 1964. The success of this cookbook and the introduction of the Red River Arts Festival prompted the publishing of the Revel cookbook in 1979. Following in the proud tradition of excellence, the latest edition, Mardi Gras to Mistletoe pays tribute to the festivals and traditions celebrated by the people of Northwest Louisiana. League members, their families and favorite local restaurants donated recipes which were then tirelessly tested to make sure they were as easy to prepare as they were tasty! These popular editions are the envy of any kitchen and make excellent gifts.
To reserve your copy(ies) of Revel $19.95 or Mardi Gras to Mistletoe $26.95 cookbooks, please contact us at:
