How to schedule an event that happens twice per month (i.e. the 1st and 3rd Thursday)

If you have an event that happens twice per month, you have to create two separate events. 

1. Add Event
2. Add in event details
3. Click "event repeats"
4. Choose Repeats “Custom"
5. Choose Frequency "Monthly"
6. Every 1 Month
7. On the -> First -> Monday
8. Finish by clicking “Add”
9. Repeat this event for the second time during the month that the event occurs.
10. If you would like to merge the events (to have the event reports show up as one event) you can Contact Support to ask our agents to merge the events. Merging events cannot be undone so be sure that you want to merge the events! If these two events have attendance data already, the merged event will have merged the attendance into one report.

You can also use a Custom frequency that repeats on "Specific Dates" of your choosing. You can select the 1st and 3rd Thursday's for each month of the year. This is a workaround as to not have these events merged by Breeze Support.
