The Derby Neck Library is offering a brand new book club for parents, guardians, and caregivers of children to discuss strategies and techniques for effective parenting in a nonjudgmental space. Each month, we’ll read a title from a pediatrician, a psychologist, or a memoir, and consider how the information we gather might be useful in practice. We will also share personal experiences and challenges to troubleshoot as a team.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Parenting is one of the toughest and most important endeavors a person can take on, but we don’t have to do it alone. With open minds (and books), we can support each other, learn together, and grow together.

Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for market expertise, professionalism, and a client-first approach, helping generations of families navigate important real estate decisions. “John’s performance continues to reflect an exceptional level of professionalism, market expertise, and client dedication,” said Joseph Porricelli, Managing Broker for Coldwell Banker Realty Ridgefield-Redding, Newtown, and Southbury. “His consistent results and long-standing reputation in the community set a standard for excellence across our offices.” Frey’s commitment to personalized service continues to earn strong client loyalty and referrals throughout the region. Much of his business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, reflecting the trust he has built over nearly four decades in the industry. “Working with John to sell my parents’ home was such a blessing,” said Andrea Donigian. “He made the entire process far less stressful than I ever imagined and provided valuable guidance every step of the way.
