The Apalachin Lions take great pride in announcing that Gae Crosby was selected for Apalachin Club Woman of the year. Gae’s recognition is the result of her activities within Tioga County and those where her focus has been the Special Olympics. Gae’s devotion to the Special Olympics Group begins with her effort as the secretary and Training Director for the Broome-Tioga organization, which encompasses more
than twenty-five training clubs and seven hundred athletes with intellectual disabilities. She coaches weekly soccer, bowling, volleyball, and track and field. Almost single-handedly introduced boccie to the organization, which is now the fastest growing sport. Gae’s community contribution has been her focus within the Tioga County Historical Society, an organization where she served as president of the Board of Directors. Her signature accomplishment was the introduction of “Oh Tannenbaum”, a project where donated decorated Christmas trees are auctioned off. This project was nursed through eight years of growth, becoming the prime holiday attraction in Owego that raised $20,000 of badly needed funds for the museum. Gae has served on other boards within the county, and she continues to serve those in need within the Special Olympics Group.
