This year's Jambo/Expo was held in Fond du Lac on July 23 & 24. The event featurerd presentations by Pro Bowler and Motiv Staffer Andrew Anderson and Educator, Motivational Speaker, Consultant and Coach Troy Schaefer. Troy energized the group on Saturday morning with a unique look at how to handle whatever life throws at you in a positive fashion and to be your best person once you figure out who you are. Andrew spoke to us on what it was like working his way up to being a Pro Bowler. The "roller coaster" ride from his first days of competitive bowling to where he is today. He opened things up to the audience with a great Q & A session where he was able to answer whatever people had on their mind. Thank you both for all you do for the sport of bowling and the youth who love it!
