Musings from the CU Suite

A little weekend reading...

It has been a strange week of weather in D.C. I saw people wearing shorts on Wednesday as temperatures were in the 70s. It snowed a wee bit yesterday. Today it was 21 degrees when I got into my car.  

Tomorrow? 60 degrees and a chance of rain. Of course. 

In any event, settle in for this week's reading pile. If you need anything from NAFCU, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks for all you do.
