President's Letter
April
passed with the required two-thirds affirmative votes, in accordance with our bylaws. Your engagement in this process, whether in support or opposition, demonstrates the deep care and passion we all have for Vicmead.
A special thank you is owed to the Development Ad Hoc Committee for their incredible dedication over the past two years. Their commitment, time, and thoughtful contributions have been instrumental in getting us to this milestone. As we now transition into the next phase, the Ad Hoc committee will evolve into the Construction Ad Hoc Committee to oversee the project. This committee will include legacy members from the Development Ad Hoc Committee, along with the addition of a few individuals who bring the professional expertise necessary to support and ensure our success.
As mentioned in this morning’s communication, a separate message will be sent to members who need to review assessment details along with the related deadlines. This is an exciting time for our club, marking another step forward in our continued evolution.
In addition to the momentum surrounding the project, we also take a wonderful step into spring with the start of the golf season. Today is Opening Day at Bidermann Golf Course, and we welcome back the Vicmead Clubhouse following its spring closure. With the return of warmer days, dining al fresco
opportunity to gather with family and friends and celebrate the season, and if you are lucky enough to find the golden egg… enjoy an ice cream or swizzle a day for the summer season, a truly coveted prize here at Vicmead.
Finally, please mark your calendars for the Annual Meeting on May 13. While you will receive the official notice and proxy by mail in accordance with the bylays, we hope you will also consider joining us in person for this important gathering.
Thank you again for your engagement at the Club, especially over the last couple of months. I look forward to seeing you around Vicmead and Bidermann in the weeks ahead!

Saturday, April 26th – Tri-State Trail
We’re heading to the Tri-State Trail and Twin Valley Loop. This 3.3 mile gorgeous wooded adventure crosses Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland along the historic Mason-Dixon Line, with well-marked trails and plenty of natural beauty to enjoy. Get ready for a fun day in the woods!
Tuesday, June 3rd – Kelly's Run Advanced Hike
This hike includes stream crossings, rock scrambles and loose terrain. This one will make you feel the burn and reward you with a beautiful view of the Susquehanna river. Traverse through a wildflower field into a pine forest, down through a rhododendron grove, into a glacial cut. Follow and cross the Kelly's run stream along the Conestoga trail before heading up to overlook the Susquehanna, above the Enola low grade railway.
