Reminders for Recurring Activities

Reminders for Recurring Activities

Hello,
      I'm trying to setup an Activity Task for an annual support contract renewal.  I'd like this to be a recurring yearly event but I also would like to be reminded one month in advance of the contract renewal date each year.  This one month reminder will let me reach out to the customer 1 month before there contract expires.  My problem is Task Activity will not let me choose both a recurring activity and a reminder for the same Task.  Am I missing something? or is this not "doable" in the current version of software?  How can I accomplish what I need to do?

Thanks
Al
