Not knowing much about your use-case, I would probably suggest that this data should be stored in one table - and if you need to see each type separately you should use views to do so.
Hi @Julie_Maden - generally, I would agree with @Julian_Kirkness - one table for all things identified by a “type” field and use views/filters to show things of one type. However, if your items don’t neatly fit into a single table you could consider creating an explicit “calendar” table:

In your type-specific tables, rather than have a date field, link to the calendar table date:
