May 1 is fine to send the recs. DO NOT wait till recruitment! They've already done all their evaluations by then and it may just go in File 13 at that point.

We hope to get the packets out by beginning of next week to the alumnus writing recs. so far my daughter is doing good at finding people to write Recs.

I have to respectfully disagree on this. The bulk of the registrations don't come in until right before the first deadline, and a HEAP of them come in after. Unsolicited recs are still in the minority.
I can assure you that recs that arrive after May 1...and June 1...and even June 30 are welcome!
But after July 1 is getting problematic. They are beginning to get short of time just to process the paperwork.

You misread my post! I said that if they wait till recruitment they might get tossed. And waiting till May 1 is fine.
