sNok signflz JANUARY 1, 2024 smok signflz offering fast e-mail subscription 9 Wrapping on the Rez 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? 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 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 es- ubscription@grandronde.org. Stopping mailed delivery of the newspaper will not affect other Tribal mail.

In previous years, Tribal police officers have organized Shop with a Cop for the children. This year, the children made a wish list and the officers shopped for the gifts. Then, they wrapped the presents together and ate pizza.
