BILL MURRAY

SPONSOR OF THE WEEK

Dear Rotarians - The novel corona virus is impacting

our members in so many ways. I’m sorry to

report that Past President Bill Murray and

his spouse Irma are battling a virus that

potentially could be COVID19.

Bill has given his permission to share this

with you and to let you know that they

appreciate your prayers and support.

Bill said : “I don't know if we have COVID but

we do have a virus and it has been unusually

difficult for an extended period of time. I am

heartened and relieved at Irma's recovery and

am very tired and anxious about my symptoms.

My son, David, who only lives a half mile away,

has been my grocer and banker and taking

care of our shopping needs. My secret fear is

what happens if I get as sick as Irma or worse.

I am mostly staying positive and trying to do

yard work every day and fantasizing about what

to do for my coming out party. I had a dream a

couple days ago that Irma kept trying to give me

ice cream for my sore throat and I kept getting

upset that it wasn't EXACTLY what I wanted.

Finally, I told her, it needed to have hot fudge and

whipped cream with sprinkles of Oxycodone on it!

(Remember, it was a dream!)”.

If you have a moment to send Bill & Irma an email

of support, they would truly appreciate that.
