11th Annual Father Martin Hope Golf Classic

Father Martin on the First Tee

On the beautiful, sunny Monday that June 20^th, 2011 turned out to be, 92 golfers attended the 11^th Annual Father Martin Hope Classic to support Hope House.  The Hope Classic was held at the Knoll Country Club in Parsippany this year.  Thanks to the hard work of a committed and dedicated committee, this year’s outing generated more golfers and sponsors than Hope House has had in years.  “We are very grateful for all the sponsors, supporters and volunteers who made this event a success…” Diane Silbernagel, Executive Director of Hope House stated. 

After a day of golf, filled with special contests and selected holes, the golfers and guests were welcomed back at the beautiful club house for a cocktail hour and delicious dinner.  Father Martin Rauscher thanked and blessed everyone for their support.  Joseph Duffy, Hope House Board President and President of Catholic Charities for the Diocese of Paterson, also shared his gratitude and stressed how the money raised will support the needed programs and services that Hope House provides to over 10,000 individuals a year in our area.

LEAP Dancers Perform at Discover Dover Day Festival

On Sunday, June 12^th, Hope House’s LEAP class had the pleasure of performing at the Discover Dover Day Festival. Fourteen boys and girls who had participated in the spring session entertained the audience at the festival with their jazz performance choreographed to the Glee version of “Don’t Stop” originally by Fleetwood Mac.

“It was really exciting that all the kids participated and that their parents attended and cheered them on enthusiastically,” said dance teacher and program coordinator, Amanda Keller, “they worked really hard on the dance and it showed.”

 LEAP (Love Embrace and Perform) is a not-for-profit dance program that began in the winter of 2010. Many of the students are the children of Hope House’s clients who would normally not be able to afford dance classes. “It’s so great to work with these kids,” Keller said, “They are so well-behaved and appreciative of what we do.”

 The students and their teacher hope to have an opportunity to perform many Discover Dover Day Festivals to come.
