smok signflz offering
fast e-mail subscription
Want to be one of the orst 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?
In an effort to be more efocient 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 you9re 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 of individual pages yourself. And
you will receive 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. þ
