Take a moment on Nov. 7 and give yourself some applause because it’s your day … you and 4.5 million other U.S. notaries who serve as trusted public officials.

Nov. 7 is National Notary Public Day, created to recognize notaries for their public service and their contributions to national and international commerce. Here at the Pennsylvania Association of Notaries (PAN) we applaud your daily efforts on behalf of your customers.

In honor of National Notary Public Day, PAN is running a contest from Nov. 1-7. Go to PAN’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PaAssocNotaries and post the strangest notarial request you’ve ever received. We’ll have a special post set up so you can simply type in your strange notarial request right in a Comment box.

If you haven’t “Liked” PAN’s Facebook page yet, now’s the time.

The winner, selected by PAN President Marc L. Aronson, will receive a PAN Attache Bag with our compliments.
