Kinderberry Hill Announces Children Book Drive Benefit
In honor of “Read Across America Day”, Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center, Woodbury, announces a Children’s Book Drive to benefit the local nonprofit organization Read Indeed.
The Children’s Book Drive will take place February 20 to March 2, 2012. The community is encouraged to bring donations of new and gently used children’s books to Kinderberry Hill, located at 1205 Woodbury Drive, during business hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Read Across America Day is an annual event that encourages adults to take time to read with a child. It is celebrated on the anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2.
Read Indeed was started by Maria Keller, a book-loving 6th grader from Plymouth, MN. Maria wants to make the world a better place—one book at a time. She hopes to collect and distribute 1 million books to needy children by the time she's 18. To date, Maria has distributed over 500,000 books around the world.
“As childhood development professionals, we are passionate about nurturing a love of books at an early age,” said Kathy Sjursen, Executive Director of Kinderberry Hill, Woodbury. “We are thrilled to assist a remarkable young lady like Maria Keller in her quest to spread the joy of reading to more children.”
All six Kinderberry Hill locations will participate in the book drive. For more information on the Children’s Book Drive, call Kinderberry Hill at 651-209-6690 or visit www.kinderberryhill.com or www.readindeed.org

Testimonials- What others say about John and Becky...
Becky and John, "thank you so much for all the work you did for us with the sale of our home. We have sold three houses in the last 7 years and have never had agents as professional and motivated as both of you. You truly have gone above and beyond during this stressful period. Because of you we sold the house in less than 5 weeks during a really bad selling period at a price we were very happy with. I would highly recommend both of you. It was a great pleasure doing business with both of you."
Thanks again!
Angela & Bernie Bagdzinski
"John and Becky were outstanding! The advantages of their professional background quickly became apparent from the measured approach they took to the whole real-estate transaction. Starting off, John and Becky helped us narrow our search to accommodate our likes and dislikes. They concluded their top-notch service by negotiating a better than expected closing price. As first time homebuyers, John and Becky's hardwork and professional expertise were essential to finding our perfect home".
Mark and Marit Sullivan
"The Durham Executive Group provided exceptional customer service while marketing my home. I feel John is honest, tenacious, and has a remarkable understanding of the Woodbury real estate market."
Darla Carlson
"Desperate to sell my home during one of the worst economic housing markets, I felt reassured with John and Becky's honesty and confidence. After just 8-days on the market the Durham Executive Group sold my home for full list price. I will continue to recommend them to everyone."
Stefanie Shufelt
"Working with John and Becky Durham made buying a house easy, fun, and enjoyable! They were quick to respond to my requests, truly listen to what I wanted, and delivered on their promises. I value their professionalism and dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a new home!"
Jill McCarthy
"Last fall we took our home off the market after trying to sell it for three and ½ months through another real estate company. We then listed our home with John & Becky Durham this spring and were not disappointed. John & Becky sold our home in one day!"
"John & Becky's knowledge of real estate, their honesty and openness, their team effort, and their willingness to work hard were all contributing factors in getting our home sold after only three days on the market! The whole process seemed effortless from beginning to end."
Kathy & David Short
John & Becky,
"Thank you! We appreciate your help and expertise. Thanks so much for being an unwavering advocate on our behalf. It meant a lot to us! And, bottom line, thanks for getting the home sold! We'd recommend you to anyone who needed a realtor".
Peg Thompson
"John and Becky Durham...ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once I learned how tough the housing market is, I was concerned about being able to sell my townhouse. John and Becky Durham really went the extra mile to make sure my place was always being marketed and shown; and it was sold right on schedule...they are truly amazing!"
"Thanks for all you've done. I really appreciate it!" J
-Jenny Zimbauer
"We were very impressed by the presentation of our home on www.durhamsoldit.com. We were extremely pleased when John & Becky sold our home in only 16-days. The home sold during February in a slow housing market. John and Becky are the best!"
David & Christine Elliott
Prudential Relocation,
"I wanted to give you feedback on the recommended realtors that Prudential suggested. As you know I ended up choosing John and Becky Durham from Coldwell Banker. I can't thank you enough for this recommendation. They were a seller's dream. I have had in the past some pretty bad experiences with realtors and I have to say they blew me away with the customer service they provided me. They worked well together as a team and were very approachable. They handled my concerns and questions in a very professional manner and felt they really did their homework in order to market my home. I would highly recommend them again in any relocation situation should you have any needs arise in the Twin Cities."
"Please join me in congratulating John and Becky Durham of our Coldwell Banker Burnet Woodbury Office. John and Becky´s outstanding sales performance has placed them among the top sales associates in our company. We´re very proud to have John and Becky on our team."
Robin Peterson, President
