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.
2012 News and Notes (outside of the Village Crier):

- 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
