Dear Inner Circle,
Laughter is an essential part of Wayside. If you read everything written about Wayside and viewed all the YouTube clips and studied our 50 years of history and weren’t laughing at least some of the time; you would only reveal that you didn’t really get our essence and our mission. We cry a bit and we’re familiar with death and grieving but we laugh. We never laugh at people but we laugh. If our mission was to manage people, laughter would be the first casualty but our mission isn’t focused on fixing or indeed anything that’s short term. Our vision is for a healthy community; a place where everyone belongs; a community with no ‘us and them’. At our best, we laugh at ourselves and declare that you can fail and still be ok.
