Maybe you could make a point to get to know them over the next year? I called up OLD contacts and said "I'm thinking of going through recruitment and would love to hear about your experience." Everyone was happy to share, and at the end I asked if they would be willing to write a rec. No one ever turned me down. And if you're in a small town like you say, they may make a call to confirm you're a quality girl, so be on your best behavior this year!
