My requirement is to enter a weekly event that repeats on a monthly basis. However, one week per month is different than the rest.

eg) Every Thursday except the third Thursday of the month is the same and the third Thursday is a special event.

Doing the repeat for the special third week is easy enough.

But not so easy for the other weeks. I can make the first, second and fourth weeks to each have their own events, but that requires 3 events rather than just one. The fifth is more difficult as I cannot find a way to make a repeating event unless I start on a month with five Thursdays.

I tried starting the fifth Thursday event in the past, but that only makes that event a fourth Thursday event for this month.

Any other ideas on how better to accomplish this?

Never mind. It suddenly became obvious one just needs to start the 5th Thursday event on the first month that actually has 5 Thursdays.

It seemed so complicated at first. ??♂?

ok. How do I set up an event for every other month? Also an event for the last?Tuesday of the month (some months have 4 some have 5)

Calendar
Click on "+Add Event"
(fill in "Event Name")
Make selections for the first occurrence of the Event in the "Date and Time" section
In the "Repeats" section:
Check the "Event Repeats" box
Select "Monthly" in the "Repeats" dropdown menu (below the "Event Repeats" box)
Select "2" in the "Repeat Every" dropdown menu
Choose either: "Repeat by day of the week" or "Repeat by day of the month"
(Make "Starts On" and "Ends" selections)
The "Repeat Summary" will say either:
Every 2 months on the <1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th> <name of Day of Week>
Every 2 months on day <number of day of month>

Also an event for the last Tuesday of the month (some months have 4 some have 5)

Groups.io currently doesn't recognize that there are 29 or 30 dates every year that are a 'fifth <day of the week>

I brought that up 2018.06.25



It was also brought up that some events' date are calculated as being x days before or after another date.
e.g. Federal Election Day in the United States is the Tuesday following the first Monday in November in even years
(1st Monday of November plus 6 days, repeats every 24 months)
(Some States also hold elections on that date every year, or every other but on odd years.)
2018.08.06

Unfortunately Groups.io hasn't fixed these oversights yet.
Maybe next year, after the great YahooGroups migration is over.... ;-}

Important, finish setting up the event:
Fill in "Event Information" section
Set up Reminder notices in the "Reminders" section

MOST IMPORTANT at the bottom of page:
Click on "+Add Event", or "+Add Event & Invite Group" to send out an immediate announcement.

Also an event for the last Tuesday of the month (some months have 4 some have 5)
