Byron Eye Care Celebrates Expanded Office with Ribbon Cutting

Dr. Wendy Kennedy and her staff at Byron Eye Care, 1067 4th St. NE #350, hosted an open house and ribbon cutting on May 25 celebrating the expansion of the Eye Care Clinic. Dr. Wendy said she had come to Byron nine years ago and really didn’t know what to expect, but the community and the Chamber of Commerce members welcomed her and helped make her practice grow. She said she started with one employee, and she now has five people on staff.

Delicious treats and drinks were offered to those who attended, and the office was filled with well-wishers from the community during the afternoon.


The May 24 Byron Area Chamber Lunch and Learn was held at the Byron City Hall. Delicious food was provided by Wild Wood Sports Bar and Grill. Speakers included President Staci Kaltenbach who talked about the SECURE 2.0 Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement) Act 2.0 of 2022. She said the Act contains more than 80 provisions designed to strengthen the retirement savings system.
