OPPORTUNITY LIVES HERE!

Our Lady of the Wayside is Home to Opportunity and the agency’s 2012 Annual Report celebrates this in style! Click on the link to the Report and as you go through it you’ll see the many ways the agency creates opportunities for the individuals we are privileged to serve.  Innovative approaches in residential, respite, transportation and day programming has promoted forward-thinking in our management of the bottom line, resulting in professional partnerships, inspired special events and countless other opportunities are all part of the exciting developments at The Wayside.

Opportunity also presents itself to the agency in the form of stewardship. Board Members Michael O’Shea, Keith Stump, Denise Williams and former Chair, Chris Zito have given the organization – and more importantly, the children and adults it serves – wonderful opportunities through the time, talent and treasure they have shared during their tenure. Thankfully, their commitment to The Wayside’s mission stays on to inspire us as we welcome our new Board Members, Roger Sera, who will be joining the Operating Board and Mike Cutter, who will sit on the organization’s Housing Board. We are also pleased to announce our new slate of Board Officers: Gary Bauman, Chair; Lindsey Smith, Vice Chair; Jim Dixon, Treasurer; and Dick Griffin, Secretary. Congratulations to everyone as they work with Our Lady of the Wayside in the pursuit of further opportunity!
