Assurer Groups
Below is a list of groups that if you are driving past you can shoot an email off and try and organise a meetup to get yourself fully assured etc.
PSU.edu/Pennsylvania State University/State College, Pennsylvania (US)
There is a members-only-post list for posting announcements of where/when people will be in the University Park/State College area for doing CAcert assurances. If you want points or want to advance as a notary by giving assurances, here's the place to find others.
To subscribe, send an email from your preferred address with an arbitrary subject and body to: up-wot-notaries-subscribe-request@lists.psu.edu
There are lots of CAcert assurers right in the middle of Pennsylvania within minutes of Interstate 80. That won't mean much to the rest of the world but a lot of people in the US go right by here on their way to or from the East Coast. They can stop for lunch, get their points and get back on the road to wherever they are going. Just post when they'll be here and how many points they need to the mailing list.
