Review for Friends Of Marty Robbins, Willcox, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Friends of Marty Robbins Headquarters, Museum and Gift Shop are now located in Willcox, Arizona. I didn't realize when I joined FOMR, how involved I would become. This organization is dedicated to "Keeping Marty's music and memory alive" Founder and President Juanita Buckley has worked tirelessly with love to bring to the public an exhibit that reveals not only the artist and his contributions to country music but the man, Marty Robbins. There are no employees, only volunteers and members who help with fundraisers, promotional ventures and the annual tribute concert. These events assist in maintenance of the museum building. I recommend this organization to anyone who wants to preserve the music and memory of the multi-talented Marty Robbins,a country music history maker and legend in his own time.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Education! I have learned so much by being an active member and participant. My knowledge of country music, its artists and impact on an international scale. Serving as a board member and editor have strenthened my communication skills.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

working with other members and volunteers. Assisting in the Museum and Gift Shop. Meeting people from all walks of life. Creating and editing FOMR newsletter.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Enthusiastic, reliable and loyal.

Ways to make it better...

Couldn't be better

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

funding and marketing. FOMR is a 501 c 3 organization totally depedent on public funding.
