The 100th anniversary of Lawnside’s incorporation will be at the heart of the Historical Society’s November meeting. The virtual session will be held on Zoom at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13. The borough was incorporated by an act of the state legislature in March 1926 and the first election was held that April. Log in with your best ideas for ways to honor the foresight of the architects of this history that made our small town the only incorporated African American municipality in New Jersey as well as north of the Mason-Dixon line. No idea is too small or too grand. We’d like to include youth, senior citizens and all aspects of community life over the past 100 years. We’ll need volunteers and willing workers to make 2026 a grand celebratory year. Registration is required to attend. Click the button below.

TRENTON — All New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) facilities, including agencies, road test sites, and inspection stations, will be closed Tuesday, November 11, 2025, in observance of the state holiday.
The Commission’s website at NJMVC.gov remains open 24/7, giving customers access to more than 25 online services, appointment booking, and motor vehicle information whenever and wherever it is convenient for them.
While most customers can complete their motor vehicle business online in New Jersey, nearly all in-person services at NJMVC facilities — for permits, driver testing, document renewals, REAL IDs, new titles and registrations, and more — require an appointment that must be scheduled at the website.
“Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations,” said Commissioner Al Dyer, liaison to the Department of Public Works. “Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris.”

Mikie Sherrill has been declared the next Governor of the state of New Jersey. Sherrill and her Lieutenant Governor-elect, Dale Caldwell, ran on a platform that aligns with the Sierra Club’s mission to protect rights to clean air, clean water, and preserve open space.
As Congresswoman, she has a strong record on open space protections, smart growth, fighting toxics like PFAS and lead, and protecting wildlife. Additionally, Sherrill’s Affordability Agenda includes bold proposals to invest in clean, cheap power like solar to protect our environment and lower utility costs in New Jersey. She has committed to streamlining approvals to bring clean energy online, and holding PJM, the state’s regional grid operator, accountable for not connecting the backlog of clean, cheap power to the grid.
The NJ Sierra Club endorsed Mikie Sherrill ahead of the Democratic primary election on May 30th, 2025. Since then, the Chapter has mobilized members across the state to fundraise and in key districts, phonebank and canvass in support of the campaign. The Sierra Club has a long history of supporting and working with Mikie Sherrill to advance our environmental, energy and climate goals for NJ and the nation.
In response, NJ Sierra Club Chapter Director Anjuli Ramos-Busot released the following statement:
“The New Jersey Sierra Club congratulates Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill and Lieutenant Governor-elect Dale Caldwell on their well-earned victory. Knowing that the New Jersey gubernatorial election is a part of the national conversation on the mood or direction of our country, let it be clear that the people chose the opposite of what Trump stands for.
We are confident that, as Governor, Mikie Sherrill will defend our state from Trump rollbacks and overreach to ensure New Jerseyans, our rights, and our environment are protected.
The Sierra Club celebrates Mikie Sherrill’s commitment to protecting and preserving New Jersey’s environment and making energy affordable, and we look forward to working together in the coming years to advance towards a cleaner and safer future for all.”
