Julie Keefer

Julie Keefer lives in Three Rivers, Michigan. Although she is a travel director and corporate meeting and event planner who spends a lot of her time on the road, there’s nothing that brings her more joy than sitting on her porch with a beverage and a good book. She is actively involved in community development in Three Rivers as a volunteer staff person with *culture is not optional, chairperson of the Huss Future Festival, the inventory manager of the fair trade store World Fare, a trustee on the board for the Three Rivers Public Library, and event planner for her local CSA farmer.
