How to select for future event

["Kim Spears" <Kim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Friends,

I have been looking at this too long and have concluded that I may be
missing something simple.

My assignment is to make an application to notify supervisors that a
review is due for a team member one month in the future. I have tried
several approaches; the first one wound up missing team members (bad),
my current approach duplicates notice events when the previous month is
longer then the succeeding month, i.e. January (better).

I cannot seem to devise a simple way to filter the extra selections,
which leads me to believe that I might be headed in the wrong direction
entirely.

It occurs to me that I may be trying to reinvent the wheel. Does anyone
here have an elegant routine for matching a date in the past to the
current date plus a month, without missing or duplicating events?

Here is what I have done so far:
