Actually, rethinking things, a multi-insertion isn't all that bad of an idea - just using a linked table.
What if the event has one day out of the recurrence that's an oddity - like if they need to push a Monday meeting to Tuesday one week. If it's a multi-insertion then you could actually let them edit the individual instances of the event by adding another record to the events table and then perhaps reference a "alteration" to a particular event. I think that using a linked table with only dates would give you more granular control over the individual event occurrences. In real life, things get pushed and shoved around to fit into schedules. If they don't get edited then it's no big deal, using a linked table doesn't actually use a whole lot of storage space. Besides, drive space is cheap, processing power is more costly.
