A Noble evening in the Garden

For over 50 years, Noble of Indiana has transformed the Central Indiana community from one that hid its members with disabilities into one that champions their contributions. By reshaping public policy and pioneering innovative services, Noble has won national acclaim for its efforts to change our society’s landscape. Founded in 1953, their mission is to create opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to live meaningful lives. Nearly 1,000 children and their families are served each year.

Rita Davis, Director of Community Relations for Noble of Indiana, is inviting everyone to attend the 13th annual Noble Evening in the Garden. A preview party to the Indiana Flower and Patio Show, Noble Evening in the Garden will be held at the Indiana State Fair Grounds on March 13, the night before the Flower and Patio show opens.

As an inventory service provider, I work with numbers quite a bit and always enjoy statistics. Here are some key numbers about Noble:

• 160 - staff members
• 150 - organizations and employers who partner with Noble
• 600 - people with disabilities work in the community through their employment services
• 5 - years on average in their jobs when hired through Supported Employment

What a great way to kick off spring! This event lends a fantastic opportunity to remind everyone that people with developmental disabilities have a lot of gifts to contribute, and by welcoming their contributions, we are a stronger, richer community.
