Town Meeting Scheduled May 31

If you have any questions about the mission of Northwestern Legal Services, we have the answers at a meeting that is free and open to the public.

The Erie County Clients' Council has scheduled an informational town meeting for Wednesday, May 31 at the Erie Insurance Auditorium, 100 Erie Insurance Place, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to explain the process of becoming a client at Northwestern Legal Services, along with the types of civil cases that are currently being accepted for legal representation and/or counsel.

The town meeting is also an opportunity for the Clients' Council to explain their role in helping Northwestern Legal Services provide free legal aid to low-income individuals and families throughout our 10-county service region. Members of the council will be on hand to introduce themselves to the public, and to encourage client-eligible people in our community to get involved in the activities of the organization.

Staff from Northwestern Legal Services will help present the topics, and they will be available to answer general questions about the mission of legal aid.

For more information about the town meeting, call Kathy Landis at Northwestern Legal Services at 452-6949, ext. 115.
