As for your rec packet, yes to the transcript, resume, stamped manila envelope and at least one professional photograph. The alumna will appreciate having all of that information at her fingertips when she sits down to write her rec. I agree with FSUZeta that you should let the alums decide how to handle the rec letters. Depending on the school, multiple letters is not out of the norm. Definitely ask them if they know anyone else that might be able to meet with you for another rec. If you do meet with an alum, dress nicely and be on your best behavior. Probably didn't need to be said to you since I get the vibe that you would know how to handle yourself, but I give it for others who may read this later.
