As moderator, can I set the group calendar so that email calendar reminders are NOT sent to the group?
We are a professional theatre company, and have just started using Yahoo groups to distribute the production calendar and contact lists. The problem is that sometimes there are as many as 8 to 10 calendar events on one day, many only affecting only a few members, and if the whole group gets every reminder, I know some people will opt out of the group rather than have their inbox flooded with emails telling them information that they already know, or that does not apply to them. We only want to view the calendar on the web, and not receive email reminders.

Yes, you can do this. A group owner, moderator, or the member who created the event can edit/reset how the event's reminder is sent or not sent to all members. Each event must be edited individually (one at a time). Several events cannot be edited in one fell swoop.
Sign in to your group.
Click Calendar, then click on Events List.
Locate the event that you do not want Reminders sent out to members.
To the right of the event title, click Edit.
Scroll down to "Reminders" area and select "Do not send a reminder."
On the bottom line of page, select "all dates", then click "Update".
When new events are added, make sure to select "Do not send a reminder".
By default events are set to " Do not send a reminder", but this setting can be changed by the person creating the event.
Who enters the calendar events into your Group calendar? - you can restrict your Calendar to "Limited (members can view events; moderators can create/modify/delete events) ".
