20 FEBRUARY 1, 2019 Smoke Signals off ering e-mail version to read Want to be one of the fi rst 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 before anyone else? Well, here’s your opportunity. In an effort to be more effi cient 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 another 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 or individual pages 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 esubscription@ grandronde.org. n S MOKE S IGNALS Hunter’s Education Course set for March 30-31 Youth who are interested in obtaining a Hunter’s Education Cer- tifi cate should attend a class held in Grand Ronde at the Natural Resources Department offi ce building off Hebo Road.
