Many thanks to everyone that responded to my post.  After reading through
everyone's suggestions I've decided to follow Kreig's advice of creating a
database record for every occurrence of an event.  This will obviously
simplify my database logic when querying for events and also allows for
better data indexing, something that my early ideas did not do well.  This
approach will also allow me to add unique comments for each occurrence of an
event and potentially track information about each event's attendees.

One question for you Kreig:  when a recurring event is added to the database
a number of inserts must be run.  In your application, how far "down the
road" did you create records in the DB?  If an event is to take place every
Monday with no definite end date specified, how many records did you create?
A year's worth? Two?

Thanks again for everyone's input,
