When The Mac Club reopened, one very special face returned with it—Bottle Bill. For years, Bill Eads filled that space with music, laughter, and his go-to ham sandwich. MV Advancements had the privilege of supporting him, and seeing his photo back on the wall is a reminder of the impact he made on so many. 🎸💛 #mvastrong #mcminnvilleoregon #mcminnville #Nonprofit #wegotthis
