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 subscribers 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 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.
