A S H L E Y ' S

address Hello Pennsylvania! I am so excited to have the opportunity

to serve as the 2020-21 District Governor. My journey with

the Kiwanis Family began in 8th grade in my home school's

Builder's Club. Throughout the year I came to love the

organization and found a love for service. I immediately

knew I needed to join Key Club when the opportunity came

on the first day of high school. I was excited to get started

with new service projects and meeting new people. Then, in

January of my freshman year, I had the opportunity to run

for Division 7 Lieutenant Governor. After learning more Governor's Goals about the positionI knew it was perfect for me. The past

year on the District Board has been, without a doubt, the

Major Emphasis Project

best experience of my life. I knew after that experience I

wanted more and decided to run for District Governor.

Executive Board

I am so excited to jump head first into this year! The way

this incredible organization has impacted my life is

indescribable. I wish each and every one of you a happy, Reminders safe, and productive Key Club year! I hope to see you all at

District Convention 2021 in Hershey Pennsylvania.

Yours in Service,

Governor Ashley Wheeland

THE YELLOW TULIP PROJECT

governor's major emphasis

The Yellow Tulip Project is a non-profit organization. Their mission is to end the

negative stigma surrounding mental health and build a community where citizens

realize help and hope is out there.

It was founded by Julia Hansen while she was in middle school. She lost two of her

best friends to suicide while dealing with her own depression. The stigma and

silence surrounding her depression caused her to not reach out for help when she

needed it the most. After losing two of her best friends, it caused her to find her

voice and speak out with her ideas. She has successfully built a safe space for youth

battling mental health issues and inspired conversations to combat suicide rates.

The goals of The Yellow Tulip Project are to plant Hope Gradens, recruit YTP

Ambassadors, and utilize a powerful photography exhibit titled "I Am More: Facing

Stigma." The Hope Gardens welcome tulips in the spring to inspire observers that

they are not alone and they have a safe space to talk about their issues. YTP

Ambassadors can be anyone who is committed to spread the message about this

non-profit. The I Am More; Facing Stigma exhibit consists of black and white photos

of people who are either dealing with their own mental helth issues or are impacted

by someone they know and they would like to speak out on their behalf.

If you are struggling and need someone to talk to, I am always a safe person. It does

not matter to me if we have never met - I am here for you and you are never alone.
