A MESSAGE FROM Scott Wehrli Mayor of Naperville

Welcome to Naperville, Illinois’ third-largest city and home to more than 150,000 people. On paper, that number is a testament to how many people choose to live and raise their families in this world-class community. Behind that number though, are 150,000 faces: our neighbors, friends, colleagues, business owners, coaches, teachers, first responders, volunteers, community leaders and so many more. It’s these people, some of whom you’ll meet in the pages of this magazine, who are the heartbeat of this city.

Naperville’s forward-thinking reputation, commitment to public safety and awardwinning education and health offerings have attracted national corporations to our borders and laid the groundwork for small, locally owned businesses to thrive. As the principal owner of a Naperville-based business, I understand firsthand how important it is for businesses to support their communities and for communities to support their businesses.

All of you can support Naperville in 2026 and beyond by thinking and acting locally — a concept that takes many forms. I encourage you to visit and support Naperville’s businesses, which in turn, can advance the missions of local nonprofit and civic organizations and enrich all residents’ lives in meaningful ways. I also hope you’ll join me in sharing Naperville’s story of community spirit and our city’s attributes to help attract the businesses of tomorrow to Naperville today.

When we work together — 150,000 faces strong — we create the foundation for the next generation of business owners and community leaders to get their start in this great city.

SENIOR LIVING Nathan Lara

Independence Village of Naperville

I ndependence Village’s growing visibility is guided by Marketing Director and second-generation family leader, Nathan Lara, whose authenticity and creativity have reshaped how a family-owned community tells its story. Nathan has spent years strengthening their presence locally and regionally, reminding families there is a stable, trustworthy alternative to corporate churn. In 2025, he was named one of Naperville’s Four Under 40, honoring both his professional impact and his unwavering commitment to serving seniors.

In a senior-living landscape dominated by corporations and investors, Independence Village stands apart — steadfast, family-owned and true to its name. For decades, families have turned to them not for pressure-filled sales pitches, but for clarity, honesty and solutions shaped around real lives. With more than 100 years of combined family experience, their decisions begin and end with residents and their families — not shareholders. That difference shows.

In 2024, Independence Village received the BBB Torch Award for Ethics and is now the only senior living community nominated for the International BBB Torch Award. For this proudly family owned and operated community, this recognition isn’t just an accolade — it’s affirmation of the values they’ve lived for generations.

Under Nathan’s leadership — and with a dedicated team beside him — Independence Village remains the opposite of the corporate model. Here, leadership doesn’t turn over every quarter. Rates don’t continuously climb upward. Residents aren’t reduced to “care levels.” Instead familiar faces, reliable guidance and a team that knows your story equals commitment. Here, consistency is the new luxury. Chandelier not included.

Beyond the doors, Nathan continues serving as a Board Member of the Rotary Club of Naperville and Vice President of the Association of Senior Service Providers — furthering a legacy of service that extends well beyond his community.

At Independence Village, senior living isn’t a transaction. It’s family. It’s community. It’s people first, always.

SMALL BITES CATERING & COOKING EVENTS

BusyButternut and Clarify Kitchen

BusyButternut Catering was built on the belief that food and hospitality have a higher purpose. Founder Cindy Hyett, a third-generation Napervillian, is deeply rooted in the community and passionate about caring for people through thoughtful culinary experiences. Her mission is simple but meaningful: “We turn ingredients into impact.”

BusyButternut is a boutique luxury catering company specializing in appetizer-only small bites and handhelds. The company focuses on events with fewer than 100 guests, offering everything from simple delivery to full-service catering and bartending. Known for her mini-morsel masterpieces, Hyett creates elevated, memorable menus that bring people together in a warm, welcoming way.

That same spirit led to the opening of Clarify Kitchen, a culinary discovery center on Quincy Avenue and the natural evolution of Hyett’s lifelong love of food, travel and teaching. Her journey has taken her from watching PBS cooking shows as a child to working in Ireland, Dubai, Singapore, and Australia, then training at Le Cordon Bleu and serving as a private yacht chef.

But it was the pull of community and education that brought her home. Clarify Kitchen was created to demystify cooking, refine technique and help people see food with new clarity. The space offers hands-on classes, date nights, wine tastings, chef demonstrations and summer camps for kids. It is also available for private events, often paired with BusyButternut catering.

Together, BusyButternut and Clarify Kitchen reflect Hyett’s commitment to service, creativity and connection — proving that when food is prepared with purpose and shared with others, it becomes something far more meaningful than a meal.
