[Ldsoss] Dynamic Filters or Views for Ward Web Calendar

We are finally getting the ward council to submit auxiliary items to the 
ward calendar and weaning them from Calendar Creator (old church 
standard).  However, many are doing dual entry because the Calendar 
Creator allows them to create organizational "views" of upcoming events.

It would be nice to be able to select a calendar view based on the 
mailing lists (i.e. organization) it was originally targeted for and 
just print out the relevant items.  If the calendar supported this, it 
might also help reduce people's tendency to want to spam the ward with 
their organization-specific activity announcements.

The same technique would be a nice, and relatively trivial enhancement 
to the current news items as well.

The key to making it a "Trivial Enhancement" would be use the mailing 
lists associated with a given event and stake or general church calendar 
events, as the list of views or filters that could be combined dynamically.

Essentially, the current UI wouldn't change, just add some selection 
boxes to chose the filters that would get passed to the database fetch.
