I'm putting my e mail together for my 2013 recruitment of new umpires. I am looking to the brain trust here to help me fill in gaps I might have missed in looking for new umps.

1) Recruited from outgoing Majors managers last year, got 2 maybe 3.

2) Actively recruited a woman who seemed interested and asked her to try to build interest in more woman.(We seriously have a Dads umpire and Moms work the snack bar issue)

3) I reached out to coach of High School team to get Student Volunteers from their team.

4) I sent letters to Rotary, Lions and Volunteer Fire Companies asking for help.

5) I am adding an umpire link to the Leagues web site with info on how to help and my contact info.

6) I sent a news release to the local weekly paper and asked to included in their web addition.

This being done I need more folks.

My first monthly umpire meeting will be end of September and I will be doing some training during Fall Ball.

What else can I be doing?  I will truly move on any idea that has worked for you,

Thanks for sharing any ideas or expanding on those listed above.
