During a special ceremony on October 9th, Captain Melanie Manning was recognized by the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly as a hometown hero.
Captain Manning started her volunteer career in 2014 with Neptune First Aid Squad. Raising from Sergeant in 2016 to Captain for the past 6 years, her dedication is unmatched.
Thank you and congratulations Captain Melanie Manning for all you do for the Township of Neptune. 👏🏼
