Well, if its my monthly Red Cross meeting, Id say its a "monthly" entry.  If its local retailers semi-annual sale, its "semi-annual".   Some publications are bi-monthly so Id label 'em as "bi-monthly".  (There is a pattern forming but not enough caffinee yet today to complete it; I leave it as an exercise to the readers.)

If its not "annual" then its not an anniversary (technically; split your own hairs!).  There are already terms for other frequencies that we all know and use so why not use them?!?!?

FMI: Would you really want to call your weekly team status meeting an anniversary!??!?! (semi :^b)
