Emmett and Carmela Babler entering the San Tan Ballroom for the 25th Anniversary Black and White Ball that was held on January 12, 2019. Carmella acquired her gown in Spain while traveling. It really created a festive mood as she and Emmett entered the ballroom. Emmett and Carmela are longtime members of the club. Carmela has been instrumental in sharing her leadership skills with the club. Her practical ideas and commitment to our mission have been key to the transition to the Cottonwood venue.
