Assemblyman Bill Mellon presents state proclamation at Bellmawr centennial meeting
Summary
As part of Bellmawr’s hundredth-anniversary meeting, Assemblyman Bill Mellon presented a joint legislative resolution honoring the borough’s centennial and urged residents to join civic celebrations; council leaders and former officials were thanked and invited to a post-meeting reception.
At Bellmawr’s centennial meeting, Assemblyman Bill Mellon presented a joint ceremonial resolution from the New Jersey Legislature honoring the borough’s 100th anniversary and offered congratulatory remarks as both a state lawmaker and a local resident.
Assemblyman Bill Mellon (Assemblyman) told attendees he traveled from Trenton after a full legislative day to take part in the centennial celebration, recalled family ties to the borough and noted that a state legislative act (referred to in remarks as chapter 111) had incorporated the borough in 1926. He said the joint resolution is signed by both the senate president and the speaker of the assembly and commemorates the occasion.
The mayor thanked former mayors, council members, the chief of police and other guests, and invited everyone to a reception at the local VFW on Essex Avenue for refreshments and presentations of certificates and gifts. No formal votes on the proclamation were recorded; the presentation was ceremonial and intended to honor the borough’s history and public servants.
The meeting concluded after brief routine business and attendees were invited to a group photograph and a post-meeting reception.
