### March 2 On March 2, 1790, I was sworn in as Secretary of the US Treasury, which made me the first person to hold that office. To celebrate this historic moment, I threw a grand banquet at my house! The famous cuisine, desserts, cigars, and wine were sourced from my home country of the West Indies. Anecdotes of humorous tales were shared, and everyone laughed and danced the night away! To commemorate this special occasion, I concocted a toast of my own: "May the finances of our nation forever remain faithful, diligent, and prudent!" Cheers! 🥂
