Now, Manchester Democrats are reforming and during their first meeting, they invited their Republican mayor as guest. “I restarted the Manchester Township Democratic Club this past summer,” Merrill Lindeman-Aptsiauri said. “I began by hosting meetings at my home this past summer. Our guest speakers were candidates who were running for office in New Jersey.” She added, “I quickly realized that I connected well with one of the early members, Kathy Frisch. Since then, she has been a wonderful partner in helping get this club off the ground during a pandemic.” (Mayor - See Page 4)
