NAFCU's Weekend Reading Pile

Compiled by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU

Ah, March, my good friend. It is nice to see you. Your arrive means that I finally convinced February to leave.  And also because after you leave, my better friends of April, May, and June are nearing. 

Before we get on to the reads, I want to say thanks. I don't say it enough. You are special to us at NAFCU. If you don't believe it, just reply to this email and I'll tell you why. 

Now...on to this week's reading pile.
