Dear Indiana Notaries,

Please accept my apologies that I cannot join you today for Indiana Notary Day. The Indiana Notary Association has put a lot of time and effort in to ensure this event is a success. I know you will find it informational and helpful as you continue your good work as notaries.

When you apply to become a notary, you are not just becoming eligible to notarize documents. You are becoming a public servant. As a public servant myself, I can tell you there is no greater responsibility and reward than serving your fellow Hoosiers. I know that you take this responsibility seriously as well, but I also hope you enjoy and appreciate the service you provide to others.

I am pleased to hear that you are continuing your partnership with Gleaners Food Bank. I strongly believe in giving back to our community, particularly to those who need it most. Since I took office, my staff and I have done several service projects, including two food drives for Gleaners Food Bank. I applaud your efforts to better our neighborhoods through community service.

Keep up the good work! Your role as a notary is a vital service to Hoosiers. If my office can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
