I am going to be working in the treasury office in the Easthampton City Hall. I will be interning with Joane, she is the assistant treasurer. I will have time to work with other office's in the City Hall. I will be learning about taxes, budget, and trust funds within the city of Easthampton. I will also take a trip to the State House in Boston to meet with other treasurers from across the state.

Day Five: Friday 13th
Today I went into the office even though the building is not open to the public on Friday's. I arrived at 8:30am and talked to the treasurer a little before our meeting with the principal's secretary from the Easthampton High School. She arrived a few minutes later and we all sat down and discussed the options she had for the high schools scholarships and trust money. We explained to the secretary that she could not offer an award for over $600 without filling out a ten ninety nine form so she decided to lower the higher award, which is good for their trust fund because they will earn more interest with more money in them for next years scholarships. Then when all the awards were figured out and set in place, Melissa and I worked together to find the codes for each funds account so that we could give them to the assistant auditor (Sue) on Monday so she can cut the checks. Lastly I worked on balancing some of the bank accounts that had been left alone for a few days. We found that one bank account was not adding up in particular so we worked on another one and realized our mistake in the other one while taking our minds off it and fixed them both. Today was a shorter day in the office and I left around 2:00pm.
