GABBY GIFFORDS AT AZ TOWN HALLDesert Foothills Key Club members Jenalee Beazley and Bailey Brown meet Gabrielle Giffords on Tuesday at Arizona Town Hall.

Kiwanis Club of Carefree Key Club chairman Manny Gonzales and president Toby Payne accompanied the Key Club members to the 50th Anniversary Arizona Town Hall, during which former Arizona Representative Giffords was honored with the 2012 Shirley Agnos Legacy Award, along with her husband Mark Kelly.

This was a rare public appearance for Giffords without Kelly.

The celebratory luncheon recognizing civic leaders was held at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. It was held in conjunction with the 101st Arizona Town Hall, which was convened to address Civic Leadership for Arizona’s Future.

Jenalee Beazley and Bailey Brown are students at Cactus Shadows High School.
