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? 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 be-
fore 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 sign-
flz 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.
