🏃‍♀️ 克里布斯于 1964 年搬到帕洛阿尔托，并毕业于斯坦福大学，当时该校还没有女子游泳队。她曾为帕洛阿尔托市社区服务部门工作。克里布斯是新成立的非营利组织“帕洛阿尔托休闲和健康中心之友”的董事会主席，该组织正在为市属健身房筹款。

💪 健身房的想法始于 2022 年 1 月，当时亿万富翁开发商约翰·阿里拉加承诺为建设提供 3500 万美元。但阿里拉加几天后去世，他的提议以他亲自管理项目为前提。克里布斯表示，该项目仍然可以完成——如果城市捐赠土地，那么私人捐赠者可以为建设提供资金，她估计建设费用为 2500 万美元。

🌳 克里布斯将格里尔公园视为一个潜在的位置。卡伯利社区中心也在考虑之中。克里布斯是公园和娱乐委员会中唯一进入竞选的人。她正在进行她的第三个四年任期。

Anne Cribbs, an Olympic swimmer and parks commissioner who is behind the push for a city-owned gym, has filed papers to run for Palo Alto City Council.
Cribbs is the ninth candidate to join the race, competing for one of four open seats in November.
Cribbs, 79, was born in San Mateo and grew up in Menlo Park. She was on a gold-winning relay team at the 1960 Olympic games in Rome as a 15-year-old swimmer, according to her bio for the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame.

Cribbs moved to Palo Alto in 1964 and graduated from Stanford, before the school had a women’s swim team. She used to work for the city of Palo Alto in the community services department.
Cribbs is the board president for a new nonprofit that’s fundraising for a city-owned gym, called Friends of the Palo Alto Recreation and Wellness Center.
The gym idea started rolling in January 2022, when billionaire developer John Arrillaga pledged $35 million for construction. But Arrillaga died days later, and his offer was contingent on him personally managing the project.
But Cribbs said the project could still get done — if the city donates the land, then private donors could fund construction, which she estimated would cost $25 million.
“I believe in Palo Alto,” Cribbs said at a Parks and Recreation Commission meeting in March 2022.
Cribbs is eying Greer Park as a potential location. The Cubberley Community Center is also on the table.
Cribbs is the only member of the Parks and Recreation Commission to enter the race. She is in her third four-year term.
Four members of the Planning and Transportation Commission are running: George Lu, Keith Reckdahl, Doria Summa and Cari Templeton.
Councilman Pat Burt and Mayor Greer Stone are trying to keep their seats.
Katie Causey, a member of the Human Relations Commission, and resident Henry Etzkowitz, who wants rent control for seniors, have also filed papers to run. Candidates have until Aug. 15 to enter the race.
