Your Credit Union Weekend Reading Pile
Compiled by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
Holy cow, when did it become August?
Back to school sales, football training camps, and out-of-office replies to your emails. This can only mean one thing...we're quickly running out of summer.Â
With that in mind, I'm heading north to Pennsylvania with K and B. They'll have a weekend full of fishing, ice cream, and grandma and grandpa.
While I can't slow down the march toward fall, I can serve up this week's reading pile. Enjoy!
