Secretaries Day is an unofficial holiday observed in many countries. In the USA it is on the Wednesday of the last full week of April to recognize the work of secretaries and other administrative support professionals. In 2011, the date was April 27, 2011 in Canada and the United States.

In South Africa it is today September 7th, 2011 and we salute all secretaries today.

The Secretarybird - Sagittarius serpentarius - Endemic to Africa gets its name from its crest of long feathers that look like the quill pens of 19th century office workers used to tuck behind their ears.
