VICMEAD HUNT CLUB
February
Dear Fellow Members,
Last month was eventful at the Club with active Paddle courts, delicious a la carte dinners (a new spectacular menu just debuted 1/30), and burgeoning groups of bridge players. However, I wanted to highlight the Vicmead Tree Burn & Chili Night that was one to remember with live music, kids playing cornhole on the porch, a packed fox den, families eating chili by the fire in the sunroom, and a blazing bonfire full of our members’ old Christmas trees. As I said at the time: events like these are what Vicmead is all about. What a great start to our weekly Sunday Supper Buffets from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
The Annual Board Retreat took place on Saturday, January 13th. The Board focused on gaining a better understanding of Club Industry best practices, reflecting on the year, and planning for the next twelve months and beyond. This month’s Board Takeaways (on the index card below) captures the themes and topics from the day the Governors spent together.
The Fitness & Activities Committee continue to work to develop fun activities for our members. Please think about joining them on February 24th for the 2nd Annual Hot Cocoa 5K. This year, the race will be held on Vicmead’s campus and will start with an opportunity to meet Joe Chaitkin, Align Fitness as he leads the group stretch and warmup. Last month the Club and Align Fitness began a partnership for sports-specific training
ANNUAL
BOARD
as an additional fitness offering for the membership. This was celebrated with a full page spot in January's newsletter and will be prominent on the Club app and website.
As noted in this newsletter, we are quickly approaching March's Spring Cleaning. Please take note of the March 11th to 25th Clubhouse closure. Dining and Takeout will resume on March 26th. Before the staff works their magic behind closed doors to prepare campuses for the much-anticipated spring and summer season, the Clubhouse team sending us off with Putt Putt Extravaganza on March 10th! As in the past, this is going to be an afternoon of laughter and novalty if not even a bit of surprisingly competitive putt putt golf throughout the Clubhouse's main floor. If you couldn’t attend previous Putt Putts, I encourage you to mark your calendar now! It’s perfect for a group of friends looking to win some low impact bragging rights over drinks and for families looking to get out of the house for a few hours to stretch their legs and wind down from the weekend. The holes will be situated anywhere and everywhere in the Clubhouse with food and drinks along the way.
All the best,
David K. Solacoff, M.D. President
RETREAT: TOP TAKEAWAYS
1. Developing ways to have the Board and committees remain strategically (rather than operationally) focused throughout the year remains a top priority. Concentrating on key performance indicators (KPIs) set yearly by each committee to support this focus.
2. Club Bylaws – performed the annual review in conjunction with the Nominating & Governance Committee which resulted in 2 updates:
A. Gender neutral language was applied throughout the entirety of the document.
B. Article VI - clarifying language was added to ensure the bylaws clearly state the Club’s standing practice that voting members, their spouses and Domestic Partners are eligible to serve.
The updated version is posted to the Club Governance tab on the website.
3. As part of the annual agenda, the work to calibrate Club governance practices to meet industry standards is a priority. Fine tuning our resource material and enhancing onboarding to support those who volunteer will be part of this exercise.
4. Developing risk management protocols is a focus for the Board and Professional Staff.
5. The Next Annual Meeting - Save the Date: April 2nd at 5:30 p.m.

THE 2024 TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION PROCESS
Our 2024 Member-Guest registration process has evolved and improved. We will now eliminate the previously used "9:00 a.m. click race" that resulted in events selling out within minutes.
Effective 2024, a registration window will begin 100 days prior to the event at 9:00 a.m. Registration will remain open on the website for seven days until 11:59 p.m. on the final day of the registration window.
If the event sells out after seven days, a lottery will be held and players notified. Lottery details were shared in a brief video in the December 11th weekly golf email. For your convenience, this video can be found on the Club website's golf page.
Tournaments noted below will require a $50 non-refundable deposit which will be applied to the entry fee. Cancellations received inside of 60 days of event will be responsible for the full entry fee unless the position can be filled from the wait list. All other club tournament registrations will go live at 9:00 a.m. on Opening Day, which is Thursday, April 11th.

While there are many considerations and components to the committee’s process, the most critical at this time is our Vicmead kitchen. It directly affects the member experience and the staff’s ability to feel supported. As we navigate this process, it’s important our members understand “the why” behind both the process and design.
Please consider joining us for a morning session “Coffee in the Kitchen” or “Cocktails in the Kitchen” in the evening. These are 45-minute tours and discussions with Chef David on the current state of the VHC kitchen, the current challenges in serving our members, and what we plan to address within the future concept design. We also want to take this opportunity to understand from you the services and amenities important to you and your family.
Tour sizes are limited to ensure member and staff safety as we navigate an active kitchen. Attendees are encouraged to wear flat shoes. Be sure to register to secure your spot.
