Help Our Preservation Effort (H.O.P.E.) is restoring two historic homes in the center of the Moravian Historic District of Hope, NJ, and the first fundraiser to support this effort is a pasta dinner at the Hope Community Center.

Once restored they will join other Moravian buildings, including the bank itself, the Long House, the Inn at Millrace Pond, the Distillery and the American House, as well as several single family homes as evidence of the heritage that dates back to the 18th Century.
The theme of the dinner is “Pasta, Sinatra and Hope, Now that’s Italian.” The evening will include a 50/50 and tricky-tray type prizes. Prizes received at press time are milk products from the Bohemian Farmstead, Cuisinart Ceramic Knifeset, Keurig Barista Bar, Collapsable folding wagon with brakes, Moravian Star, Sheepskin, Original painting by Ellie Zukoski, gift certificate.
