Law Firm and Local Author Partner to Benefit Sheltering Arms

ATLANTA, September 6, 2007 - Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, one of the top law firms in Atlanta, is creating more calm in the world through its partnership with Atlanta company ScreamFree Living. In support of the community and in conjunction with the release of ScreamFree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool, the firm will be providing a book for each parent at the headquarters center of Sheltering Arms, Georgia’s oldest non-profit child development center serving more than 4,000 children and their families. 

“Sheltering Arms is an organization that provides top notch pre-school, child care and support services to low-income working families, many of whom are single parents” says Elaine Draeger, President and CEO of Sheltering Arms.  “Our parents work very hard to do what’s best for their families, and ScreamFree Parenting is a great guidebook for them. We are excited to have Arnall Golden Gregory supply these books to our families and to our resource center.”

“ScreamFree Parenting is the first parenting book that’s actually about parents,” says Hal Runkel, LMFT, author of the book and founder of the company ScreamFree Living.  “So many of us try so hard to control our kids, but at the end of the day, we’re the only ones that we can actually control,” continued Runkel. He plans to reach millions of families with the September 4, 2007 release of his book, published by Broadway Books, a division of Random House. The book launch will include shipments to top retailers as well as a 20-city media tour by the author, which begins in Atlanta. “We’re so pleased to have the parents of Sheltering Arms be among the first to receive this book,” added Runkel.  “Parents who have the stress of work and trying to take care of their families are the ones who can benefit most from the ScreamFree message,” he said.  “ScreamFree creates a new calm in your life, in spite of what sometimes can seem like chaos.”  

“AGG is proud to support the community,” said William H. Kitchens, Managing Partner of Arnall Golden Gregory.  “With its critical support for working families, Sheltering Arms is a worthy and appropriate organization for providing these valuable books.”

Arnall Golden Gregory LLP is also hosting the Press Briefing and Launch Event for the release of ScreamFree Parenting at their office at 171 17^th Street, Atlanta Georgia. Visit www.screamfree.com/launch for more information.
