IE. A Stake clerk could check an item, such as a Stake Priesthood Meeting, to have a reminder e mail sent out at a specified time prior to the event, to specified individuals.
There is a feature already in the Calendar almost like what you describe. As a calendar editor/administrator creates or edits an event, there is an option at the bottom of the screen for "Send an email about this event" with options for "Now" or "Later". If you choose "Later" then you can choose any number of Days, Hours, or Minutes before the event to send the reminder.
This is described in the
Scheduling Events documentation under
Send E-mail Notifications about Events.
Note, however, that there seems to be a problem with this feature. Although most people have success with the "Now" option, the "Later" option doesn't seem to send out any emails, as discussed at
LDS.org calendar not sending email updates.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
