You can use planner-cyclic.el to make the appointment a task.

(require 'planner-cyclic)

And then in your planner-cyclic-diary-file (usually named
"~/.diary.cyclic-tasks"), you put the appointment.

For example:

Friday #A _ Weekly review

Then it will show up as a task.

An even better way is to also have the appointment integrated into the
task (I think).  To do this, you should use planner-appt.el (very
recently posted by Jim Ottaway).  Then you can use (in your cyclic diary
file):

Friday #A _ @14:00 Weekly review

Now it's both a task and an appoinment, which will pop a window up to
remind you.  Nice, isn't it? :)
