The Women’s Community Center is making a change to the Pro Per Clinic effective immediately. The clinic will open at 5 pm until 8 pm
The $40 donation will now be a $40 fee.
If someone is financially “strapped” and unable to pay this amount, the WCC will allow them to come to the WCC office prior to the date of the Pro Per Clinic to bring proof of income and fill out a form to allow us to consider a
sliding scale fee. This fee can be anywhere from $39 down to $20.

This new policy was a board decision based on the last Pro Per where very few of the 17 participants paid any money at all, and one person, claiming not to have any money at all, later bought a book we had for sale. The purpose of the Pro Per Clinic has always been two-fold. One, and most importantly, is to provide assistance to women and their families when they were in need of family law advice or information. The second purpose, was to help the Women’s Community Center generate income. We needed to address this second issue, and this was the solution that the board came up with.
