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 newspa-
per 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.
If you would like to receive an e-mailed PDF version of Smoke Sig-
nals and stop receiving a mailed newsprint version, send your e-mail
to esubscription@grandronde.org.
