Smoke Signals offering
e-mail version to read
Want to be one of the first Tribal members to receive Smoke Signals?
Want to receive the Tribal publication on your computer instead of
waiting for it to arrive in the mail?
Want to get up-to-date and in-the-know about the Grand Ronde Tribe?
Well, here’s your chance.
In an effort to be more efficient and reduce costs, Smoke Signals sub-
scribers can have a PDF (portable document format) version sent to them
instead of a newsprint version sent via the mail. All you need on your
computer is Adobe Acrobat or some other program that can read a PDF
and, viola, you’re set.
Why would you want to do that? The PDF version is available before the
newspaper is even sent to our Salem printing contractor. You can read the
paper on your computer or print out a copy yourself. And you will receive
Tribal news much faster than the current standard mailing employed by
the Tribe.
If you would like to receive an e-mailed PDF version of Smoke Signals
and stop receiving a mailed newsprint version, send your e-mail to esub-
scription@grandronde.org.
