The annual Christmas party for the Kids at Noble was held at noon, Wednesday December 5, 2012, at the Northside Knights of Columbus at 71st Street and Keystone Avenue. Noble serves those with intellectual disabilities in the community. Noble centers are located in Carmel and other locations in the Northern Indy area.

This Christmas and Holiday luncheon, held for families and children of Noble is one of the oldest of the Noble and Sertoma traditions. The Broad Ripple Sertoma Club was started in 1958 and made its first contribution to Noble of $14,000 in December of 1959. Through the years the Broad Ripple Sertoma Club has provided to Noble of Indiana nearly $2,000,000 in support. The first Christmas or Holiday parties started in the early 1960s and continues still. It is a time when Noble hosts the Sertoma members and their wives to say "Thank You" for the many years of ongoing support. It is a time when the Sertoma organization provides direct support to some of Noble's neediest of families by presenting individual Christmas gifts. In addition, $14,000 was presented directly to Noble at the beginning of this luncheon.

Noble and Sertoma members shared in the cost of the meal and the Sertoma members shopped for the children from the "wish list" which is provided by parents and Noble Staff. The Sertoma club allocated $2,000 to buy clothes and toys for 20 children. A time was set in late November for the members to meet at a local department store to buy the gifts all at one time. With the store discount the $100 allowed for each child actually buys close to $120 value or more in presents.

At the time of the luncheon, and after the meal, Santa arrived and helped Sertoma members call out the names and identify the gifts for the different children. The Sertoma shoppers were matched to the families that they shopped for so that they could sit together for their meal. Several members have acknowledged that this celebration is both the highlight of the year and the main reason for their involvement, participation, and support of the Broad Ripple Sertoma Club.
