The Committee plays an advisory role to the Mayor and Borough Council, providing recommendations on how to encourage local creative talent and recognizing individuals who have significantly contributed to the cultural and historical development of Middlesex, regardless of their artistic background.

Encouraging collaboration, the Committee is open to working with external partners, such as the Middlesex Borough Department of Recreation, and is empowered to seek expertise and support from various sources. Furthermore, the Committee is authorized to apply for grants and contributions from both public and private entities to fund its initiatives, though any expenditure of Borough funds requires specific Council approval.

self-care pantry initiative: Middlesex Girl Scout Junior Group

The Middlesex Girl Scout Junior Group is taking a significant step toward addressing a vital community need with their latest project: a Self-Care Pantry. Co-leaders of the group have announced plans to install a new pantry dedicated to collecting and distributing essential self-care items for those in need.

This initiative aims to provide a sustainable solution to a growing concern in the community. The pantry will be located near the existing mini food pantry, near the Middlesex Borough Library, creating a convenient hub for residents to access both food and self-care essentials. Items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, shampoo, and lotion will be available for individuals and families who are struggling. These are small items but can make a significant difference in someone’s sense of wellbeing.

The project is set to launch in the spring of 2025, with the assistance of the Department of Public Works (DPW) for the installation. The Girl Scouts are calling on the community to support this effort by donating self-care items to stock the pantry. This initiative not only addresses an immediate need but also fosters a spirit of giving and community support.

By creating this self-care pantry, the Middlesex Girl Scout Junior Group is demonstrating the power of young leaders to make a lasting impact. Their dedication to identifying a problem and implementing a sustainable solution is an inspiring example of community service in action.

For those interested in contributing to this meaningful project, donations of self-care items can be dropped off at the Volunteer Fair on May 3, 2025 at Middlesex Borough Library.  Once the pantry is open, community members are invited to give what they can and take what they need. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our community has access to self-care essentials.

Meet Your Local Heroes:  The Volunteers of the Middlesex Fire Department

The Middlesex Fire Department responded to 468 calls for service in 2024. Did you know Middlesex Borough has no paid firefighters? Every one of our 59 members are “Volunteers” . Our members donate their time to serve their community. Just a few benefits of joining the Middlesex Fire Department are no cost to you for State & Federal training, department issued gear, & uniforms. We also offer LOSAP (Length of Service Awards Program) which is a retirement account for eligible volunteers. If you meet our department requirements you will receive a stipend in your account annually that can be withdrawn upon retirement. The FD budget committee is also in negotiations with the borough for a response per emergency call stipend for all eligible volunteers that would also be awarded annually.

Volunteering as a firefighter is not just about putting out fires; it's about being there for people in their most vulnerable moments. It's about providing support, comfort, and a sense of security during times of crisis.

The chance to help others, to be part of a dedicated team, and to face challenges head-on is a very rewarding experience. Many of our current and past members have also pursued one of the emergency services as a career because of their experience as a Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department, by becoming a 911 Dispatcher, Police Officer, Paid Career Firefighter, EMT, or Paramedic. 

Come join our members at the Volunteer Fair on May 3, 2025, between 10am and 3 pm at the Middlesex Borough Library to learn how you can get involved.

In Memory of Bill Weigel

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of William “Bill” Weigel.  Bill was instrumental in developing the Roy K. Harkness Community Pool, now known as the Middlesex Community Pool. Everything from the water slide and the kids wading pool and more was his vision and is carried on today.

Bill served as a lifeguard and swim coach for many years. He managed and developed aquatics programs at the Roy K. Harkness Community Pool in Middlesex, New Jersey for over 40 years. As a lifelong educator, he also trained and instructed countless individuals in lifesaving skills and water safety.

We extend our condolences to his family and gratitude for creating Middlesex’s “hidden gem.”

Aqualytes Synchronized Swimming Team is One of a Kind

The Aqualytes are unique in that they are the only Synchronized Swimming Team in New Jersey! 

Fresh off of their 50th Anniversary, the Aqualytes Synchronized Swim Team is a recreational team that is inclusive of all genders ages 5-17 with basic to advanced swim skills. Synchronized swimming combines elements of dance, swimming, and gymnastics. All swimmers must be members of the pool to join the team. There is a fee to join the team. Please contact the Team Coaches with any questions: middlesex.aqualytes@gmail.com 

Visit their Facebook page: Middlesex Aqualytes
Instagram: Middlesex.Aqualytes

From our Coaches: Middlesex Aqualytes is a recreational team. Synchronized swim is almost like a dance routine, however, in the water. Team members are taught different arm and leg movements, called “figures,” matched up with designated music. Team members are put together in groups to perform. It is not as hard as it sounds! Each year we pick a theme for the season such as Decades. Children as young as five can join and they love the team! We put the music and swimming together and have an amazing, non-competitive performance at the end of the season!
