By Charles Cohen Globe-Times Staff Writer Only two years after Laurie Gostley moved to Bethlehem, a stranger and alone, she did something no other woman has done in Bethlehem. She was named the 1990 recipient of Bethlehem Area Jaycees Distinguished Service Award. Not only was she the 40th person to earn the honor, but she was the first Gostley woman to receive the award, which at one time was known as "Young Man of The Year." "I'm really excited about being the first woman," said Gostley, who was surprised by the award. "It really says a lot for the Jaycees.'' Gostley is following in the footsteps of state Rep. Paul F. McHale, Jr., D-west Bethlehem, who received the award last year. Gostley will be honored at during a 7 p.m. banquet Jan. 17 at the Hotel Bethlehem. McHale will present her with a plaque. Also, recognition will be given to the 1990 recipients of the Outstanding Young Firefighter, Outstanding Young Law Enforcement Officer, Outstanding Young Educator and Outstanding Young Fitness Leader Awards. A blushing Gostley was informed of the honor early Tuesday evening. At 6:45 p.m., a group of Jaycee members, led by President Michael Long, had a rendezvous under the street lights near the Main Street Depot and drove to the rear of Gostley \s apartment in a convoy of cars. Then the Jaycees surrounded her front door and knocked. "You have been hereby chosen for this year's Jaycees Distinguished Service Award," Long said. . "You're joking," exclaimed the 29- year-old assistant to the president for human relations at Lehigh University, her voice reaching earpiercing levels. "It's not my fault," joked Long. Gostley, who for the last two years has volunteered for numerous organizations, was chosen by three judges from a group of six nominees. Her nominator, Dave Beidleman, assistant director of Lehigh's Alumni Association, said Gostley has "grown individually as a potential leader in the community" since she first came here. When Gostley moved to Bethlehem from Cleveland, she thought she was going to have a hard time, because of the family atmosphere that still dominates the Valley. Being a single woman, she might have felt left out, she said. But that simply has not been the case. On her second day in town, she contacted the Volunteer Action Committee, who put her in touch with other agencies. Although she tried to get involved with groups in Cleveland, she found that people here were a lot friendlier. Quickly she hooked up with the Bethlehem Area Jaycees, where she is now first vice president. Eventually she became involved in 14 organizations, including the United Way Campaign, Dream Come True, the Bethlehem Christmas Tour and Lehigh Valley Pride. Gostley said her involvement has surrounded her with a circle of friends, many of whom sat in her living room Tuesday night, wondering how they could split the only bottle of beer she had in refrigerator. She said one of her favorite accomplishments was getting involved in the Leadership Lehigh Valley classes in 1989. Gostley was Lehigh's representative in a series of monthly classes where community leaders would learn about issues from those who are primarily involved. Gostley talked excitedly about the classes, which featured the mayors from the tri-city area and health specialists. "You met the people who were making a difference," she said. "I live in a big circle of people now," she said. Gostley said she also discovered that while Bethlehem may be known as a family-type community, there is an invasion of young talent. "A lot of young people are moving in and I think they are here to stay," she said. "I'm proof of that.''
