The following is a notice to the Environmental Advisory Committee and Open Space Advisory Committee (OSAC) regarding both committees' 2026 meeting schedules:

Although meeting dates were placed on the calendar for 2026, the governing body did not make any new appointments to either committee at its Jan. 5 reorganization meeting. As a result, the Moorestown Environmental Advisory Committee (MEAC) and Open Space Committee currently do not have quorums and are unable to meet.

Accordingly, all MEAC and OSAC meetings are suspended until further notice. Meetings will remain suspended unless and until the governing body makes appointments, reorganizes the committee or takes other formal action.

Special to The Sun Students of the internship program for the New Jersey chapter of the Ahimsa Movement to End Gun Violence were honored with a graduation ceremony at the library earlier this month.

The Ahimsa Movement to End Gun Violence, an organization dedicated to ending the epidemic of gun violence in America through non-violence, advocacy, education and policy reforms, held a graduation ceremony for the organization’s 10th internship of its New Jersey chapter at the Moorestown library on Jan. 4.

The organization spans 10 states and has nearly 1,000 members. One of its goals is to foster an understanding of the gun issue among youth by holding intense one-to-two-week internships in which teenagers learn the complexities of this issue, including the data and policy options.

“Education for the youth is a missing element unless we educate our youth about the history and evolution of gun violence, and we tell them that Ahimsa and peace movements like Martin Luther King Jr.

Councilman Chris Keating was sworn in as deputy mayor during township council’s annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 5, with Congressman Herb Conaway administering the oath.

“I’m confident that Moorestown, and the way we deal with all of the issues that face us, we’re going to do it and we’re going to do it well,” Keating said. “We’re going to stand up for Moorestown under the guidance and the leadership of our mayor. We’re not going to be bullied by developers. We’re not going to be bullied by businesses, including health-care systems that come into our towns and then try to weasel their way out of paying property taxes.

"We’re not going to acquiesce to bad deals being pushed by out-of-town interests," he added.
