Re: OnAgainOffAgain relations - beyond celeb marriage: Org membership

If a name is required, I'd like to suggest:

    ReoccurringRelationship

And the broader hierarchy would look like this:

    Event
        Relationship
            ReoccurringRelationship
        ReoccurringEvent
            ReoccurringRelationship

Regards
Anthony
