We’re excited to unveil a truly one‑of‑a‑kind highlight in our Purse Party Online Auction—a Vintage Gaymode Wooden Handbag (1950s–60s)! Beautifully crafted in Japan, this mid‑century treasure features carved wooden panel detailing, a curved wooden handle, and its original brass latch. Produced under the Gaymode label known for stylish novelty accessories of the era, this handbag blends craftsmanship, charm, and timeless appeal.

Adding to its character is a delightful hand‑painted mushroom design by a local artist, reflecting the whimsical aesthetic popular at the time the bag was made. Whether displayed as décor or carried as a unique fashion statement, this vintage piece is a true conversation starter that adds warmth and personality to any collection.

Our online auction makes it easy for anyone to participate from anywhere and features a curated selection of purses across a wide range of styles, designers, and price points. We’re also proud to introduce Fund‑A‑Need for the first time, offering supporters a meaningful way to give directly toward mission‑critical needs. All proceeds benefit Camp Courage, our three‑day grief support camp for children ages 6–14.

The auction is open now and closes at 11:45 PM on Sunday, May 3. Bid anytime using the link below, and be sure to join us in person on Sunday, May 3 at the White Lake Eagles, where you’ll find even more beautiful handbags available at our Buy Now tables, as well as through live and silent auctions. The event is open to the public, and no membership is required!

Our compassionate and expert care wherever it’s needed

For almost four decades, Harbor Hospice has provided skilled, compassionate end-of-life care by addressing the medical, emotional, and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families regardless of their ability to pay for it.

Most hospice patients in our five-county West Michigan region chose to remain at home while in our care, but when that is not their choice or not the best option, we serve them where ever they are including in nursing homes and at our Leila and Cyrus Po**en Hospice Residence in Muskegon.

Harbor Palliative Care professionals provide specialized medical support to patients who are not ready for hospice but are dealing with challenging, life-limiting symptoms of their condition -- or side effects of their treatments -- such as nausea, breathing difficulties, and especially pain. We partner with each patient’s doctor to determine how best to bring comfort to the patient so they can resume activities they love like having dinner with friends and spending time with grandchildren.

Each day at our Bob and Merle Scolnik Healing Center in Muskegon, grief counselors offer support groups and one-on-one time for family members, partners, friends, and care givers learning how to cope with heartache and loss. Because we believe so strongly in the power of grief support, our services are free of charge and available to everyone.
