Anyone have a sample of a recruitment ad? Need one really bad. Would like to see one.

[WTFD730]

This is the latest add I posted in our local newspaper:

Do you have what it takes?
Are you ready to be challenged?
The Washington Twp.Volunteer FD is seeking the best of the best.
Our department has a proud tradition,
rigourous requirments,
and excellence as its benchmark.
If you would like to become a member of our team and serve as a volunteer firefighter/EMT
Contact the WTFD@(phone NO.)
or visit the station on any Wed. evening from 7-9pm.

Also an excellent book to get which was a big help to me is: recruitment and retention in the volunteer fire sevice: problems & solutions.
The book is free, contact the NVFC, FEMA or the US fire administration to get a copy

We use the tag line:
If you're tough enough, if you're smart enough, if you care enough to volunteer... Join Our Team Today. Make Friends for Life.

This focuses on the physical, intellectual and compassion qualities we look for in today's volunteer. We then go on to tell them about both the requirements and the rewards of volunteering.

We've used this in print, radio, TV and on the web. Check out our on-line version at: http://www.erie.gov/depts/community/emergency_fsd.phtml

We've recruited 150+ new volunteers in the past 6 months using this theme.

Let me know what you think.
