Alumni Recruitment Update:
We have sent out well over a hundred emails along with our recruitment pdf targeting specific groups (sample attached for Queens University) and the biggest response so far has been from the university program, where we sent out an email to coaches of the twelve Ontario universities that run a men's rugby program, and 8 out of the 12 universities responded fairly quickly to our offer of a $100 donation to their program. The $100 donation was offerred as our way of thanking the coaches for forwarding our recruitment pdf along to their rosters (probably 400 players in total) and of supporting university rugby in general as a good cause. The funding for the donation was from the proceeds from our fund-raising Alumni event held on April 1st.
In the past, the Saracens have recruited quite a few good players from university rugby and universities will continue to be the focus of our future recruiting efforts. Several people have made some excellent suggestions about ongoing future support of university rugby programs. This would involve programs such as providing practice sweaters or rugby balls c/w a logo such as "Donated by Toronto Saracens in support of university rugby" or man-of-the-match / MVP awards, again with the Saracens logo, etc. The funding for these ongoing programs would come from Alumni events and donations.
Thanks to everybody who has helped out to-date with the Alumni recruitment effort and please send in any ideas that you may have for future recruitment efforts. And I would like to remind everybody that each of you has agreed, whether you thought you did or not, to recruit one new player for the Saracens in 2007.
Please keep the Saracens top-of-mind if you happen to run into a potential rugby player anywhere, anytime.
Cheers Brian
