After 13 years of service on the MV Advancements Board of Directors, Luella Fritz is stepping down and leaving behind a legacy defined by compassion, advocacy, and leadership. Recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, Luella’s story reflects a lifelong commitment to empowering people to reach their highest potential.

Luella’s connection to MV Advancements began long before she joined the Board in 2013. Growing up in McMinnville, Oregon, she knew founder Margaret Reavis from a young age and remembers her as a gracious and compassionate role model in the community.

“She was poised, confident, and deeply caring,” Luella said. “She was a model of goodness and service.”

Ernie is a Roadside Marketing Specialist with Budget Blinds of the Mid-Willamette Valley! A customer had seen Ernie's efforts every day as he drove by, and that led him to place an order with Budget Blinds. When they placed the order, they were sure to give Ernie credit for getting them in the door. 😁😎

Pictured here is Ernie at work with his Job Coach, Brian Riordan. Priscilla Gaylene Glidewell, the owner and operator of Budget Blinds MWV, stopped by to check in on Ernie and chat. ❤️

Look for a video highlight about Ernie and his role at Budget Blinds MWV tomorrow!

Did you know that MVA’s support services once looked very different from what they do today?

Over the years, support expanded to include housing, recreation, and more community-based opportunities designed to help people live and work closer to home. As we celebrate 60 years this year, we’re reflecting on the people and moments that helped shape the journey.

What’s one thing you think makes a community feel inclusive?
