The women throughout our 70 year history have made significant accomplishments and to honor this legacy we have included an up-to-date journal of articles, photos and documents that chronicle everything about who we are and how we grew to become the organization that we are today.

The League is poised to make a dramitc impact in our community's ability to deliver these transitional independent living skills to its foster youth.

Leeza's Place

Leeza's Place was designed to ensure that others experiencing what the Gibbons family encountered caring for a family member with Alzheimer's or other debilitating conditions would have access to new, supportive settings created for the purpose of educating, empowering and energizing. Each Leeza's Place has been carefully crafted to empower both the caregiver and the recently diagnosed by offering services that create self esteem, relieve symptoms, impart knowledge, reduce stress, promote inclusion, and ultimately improve the quality of life while helping you to acquire advocacy, coping and care-related skills.
