10 FEBRUARY 15, 2022 smok signflz offering fast e-mail subscription Want to be one of the first Tribal members to receive smok signflz? 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? Want to not worry about touching a newspaper that someone else might have held? Well, here’s your opportunity. In an effort to be more efficient and reduce printing and postage costs, smok signflz electronic subscribers receive 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 you’re set. Why would you want to do that? The PDF version is available before the newspaper is sent to our printing contractor in Salem. You can read the paper on your computer or print out a copy or individual pages yourself. And you will receive virus-free Tribal news much faster than the current standard mailing utilized by the Tribe. If you would like to receive an e-mailed PDF version of smok signflz and stop receiving a mailed newsprint version, send your e-mail to esubscription@grandronde.org. Stopping mailed delivery of the newspaper will not affect other Tribal mail. Health & Wellness Center hours The Health & Wellness Center is pleased to add additional access for patients during holiday weeks on Thursday mornings. The clinic will be scheduling patients at 8 a.m. every Thursday preceding or following a holiday closure. Urgent care also will be available during this time.
