How to Sign up for Classes

This life-skills and education center is especially designed for A Woman’s Choice Resource Center’s clients.  Therefore we ask for anyone who is interested to first visit us at A Woman’s Choice and to get connected to Necole’s Place.  You will make an appointment to register for classes at Necole’s Place and this registration process should not take more than 30 minutes to complete.  At that time you will be given an information packet about all our programs and have the opportunity to sign up for a class. 

Men’s Day

Once each month, our counselor Dr. Dennis Kaufman, hosts a men’s day for the men connected to our clients.  Fathers of our clients’ children, brothers, uncles, friends—this is an opportunity for men to grow and learn and make friends in an atmosphere similar to what our women clients experience on a daily basis at Necole’s Place.  Call Dr. Kaufman at 569-0494 for more information.

A Note from the Director

“We always give credit to God.  When our clients thank me, I always tell them, ‘No, don’t thank me, you know Who to thank, thank Him.’  We pray with clients at lunch, in Bible Studies, during a family loss, when they get their drivers license, for sick children, for abusive relationships, to be saved, for lost keys, for a baby lost from SIDS or during pregnancy, and for peace.  We are able to meet needs for food and clothes.  We also witness the girls making friends, encouraging, and supporting each other.  How blessed are we!  We know God’s love and are able to share it daily.”  - Susie Dempsey, Director of Necole’s Place

Remembering Necole, March 6, 1972 – Feb. 28, 2004

“Remembering the first time I ever saw Necole, I can picture her with her head down as she talked to us. That was the moment God caused my heart to love her and want to see her life improve.

Over the years, God loved and cared for Necole through the people at the center and her head began to be held up more and more. The best and one of the last pictures of Necole I remember, after 12 years knowing and loving her, is at her college graduation. Her head was up; she looked confident and full of hope.

That’s what I envision ‘Necole’s Place’ doing for the women who participate in the programs offered: God using this place to lift up their heads, giving them confidence and a Christ-centered future, offering the kind of encouragement and hopefulness that only God can provide.” - Martha Michels, Former Director of Necole's Place
