Join VOMCA!

Who are We?

We are your friends and neighbors in Millersville, Maryland. VOMCA is a voluntary association that acts as the only voice for your neighborhood with Anne Arundel County and Maryland State Government. Since we're a voluntary association, we are dependent upon your dues and your involvement to keep us effective.

VOMCA owns and maintains the Barlowe Field area including the Olde Mill Swim Club, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated Pool Committee. We sponsor several community events, including an Easter Egg Hunt, a Christmas visit from Santa Claus, and a December holiday lighting contest. We'd love to do more, but we are dependent on volunteers to plan and organize events.

We have a new online photo album and online calendar.

On Monday, March 21, 2011 at 7PM in the Arundel Ctr, Annapolis, the County Council will hold a special hearing to discuss Resolution 16-11 regarding Oakwood Road Extended (intersecting Old Mill Rd.). This resolution is to approve this County-owned property as "surplus property" and "dispose of it" by sale to Snyder Homes (and/or actually to anyone else who might want to buy it) to allow continuation of development of the planned subdivision. Snyder Homes will be testifying at this hearing. It is open to the public if you would like to attend or speak. Questions? Call Sarah Hakulin, 410-987-1239. Our Wade Property/Snyder Homes info page has been updated with this information and link to the Resolution.
Emergency Provisions to ensure VOMCA can continue to make operational decisions (like approving our budget) were enacted 3/2/11 due to a repeated lack of quorum. They will be lifted once a quorum is achieved for a meeting.
VOMCA has received some inquires about tree removal in the common areas of Old Mill. I would like to stress to the community that VOMCA is only responsible for the Barlowe Field / Olde Mill Swim Club area. VOMCA does not own nor maintain any other “open areas” in the greater Old Mill area. If you have an issue with downed trees and suspect it is on an area of “open space” please contact Anne Arundel County Public Works at 410-222-7500 and ask about tree removal. The other county number is 410-222-7349. Thank you. Tom Stag – President, VOMCA
