Caroline and Silvia,

I hope you do not mind me including you in this email thread. Another homeowner kindly provided me with Caroline�s contact information, and I received Silvia�s information through the Split Rock Owners Circle. My understanding is that you may both be more closely connected to the broader community improvements and road maintenance concerns being discussed.

First, Mary, I want to sincerely apologize if my earlier response caused additional emails or frustration to be directed toward you. You have consistently been a helpful point of contact for the community, and I recognize that this can also place you in the difficult position of becoming the recipient of concerns that may fall outside your direct responsibilities. That was never my intention. You have been extremely helpful, and I do not want the community�s frustration unfairly placed on you.

My goal in raising these concerns was to help begin a productive conversation and identify the right people who can work with homeowners toward a clear plan of action. Since sending the original email, I have received several positive responses from homeowners who are interested in participating and helping move this effort forward.

It is becoming increasingly clear that several areas of the community require attention. Portions of the roads continue to deteriorate, much of the signage is outdated or falling apart, and the overall need for coordinated improvements is becoming more noticeable over time. I believe many homeowners understand that meaningful improvements require funding and are willing to continue contributing, but greater transparency around the priorities, responsibilities, planned work, anticipated schedules, and use of collected funds would help build confidence and broader support.

Hopefully, this conversation can lead to a partnership between the Split Rock homeowner community and Split Rock Resort. Even if that requires several homeowners to participate in assessing the needs, helping develop a plan, communicating it to the broader community, and encouraging everyone to remain current with their financial obligations, I believe there are people willing to assist.

The goal is not to assign blame or criticize the individuals working to support the community. It is to bring the appropriate people together, understand how decisions are made, establish realistic priorities, and create a plan that homeowners can believe in and support. Greater visibility would also help reassure owners that the money being collected is being directed toward the improvements that are most urgently needed.

Caroline and Silvia, I have not had the opportunity to speak with either of you yet, but I am hopeful you can help guide us toward the appropriate next steps and the right representatives to include. I, along with several other homeowners who have reached out, would be more than willing to participate in a smaller working group to help organize this effort and see it through.

Thank you all for your time and for everything you do for the Split Rock community. I truly believe everyone shares the same ultimate goal of seeing the community improve, remain beautiful, and continue to be a place that homeowners and visitors can be proud of.

Best,
Craig Lewis
