On behalf of the State of New Jersey, I am pleased to congratulate The Hammonton Gazette on its 25th anniversary.

The Hammonton Gazette in many ways is like Hammonton itself, a testimony to perseverance.

It was my privilege to submit a Letter to the Editor which appeared in the first issue of The Gazette on July 2, 1997.

As we approach Independence Day, I ask the people of Hammonton what kind of government they want?

Assemblyman Michael Torrissi’s letter lamenting the plastic bag ban recently enacted in New Jersey appears quite myopic in scope.

We all want and need a sustainable and lasting earth for future generations.

Congratulations on being named one of only 11 Honorable Mentions in Editor & Publisher Magazine’s “Top 10 Publishers That Do It Right” list!

Twenty-eight months ago, the Hammonton High School Drama club held auditions for Shrek the Musical.

I want to thank all of the organizers and participants in this year’s annual Hammonton Lake Park Cleanup.

The community embraced Henry Jenkins who recently passed away.
