Yes its tricky to do I'm afraid since you are putting a square peg in a round hole in terms of what Joomla expects.

I made what I wanted using this way:
1)I create menu item with type date range and set some options
2)This content I can get using link index.php?Itemid={menuid}, or using alias
3)I create module with type HTML and wtire description for my menu item.
4)using advanced module manager i set appearence of this module only on this page(which I created as date range) and set position before jevents content.
5)Create material with link on this menu item.
PROFIT!
Its rather difficult, but it works!

After creating a menu item - view it in the frontend of the site. the pick up the URL from the address bar

I created new menu with type date range and set some options.
The link in admin panel: http://volfilarmonia.ru/administrator/index.php?option=com_menus&;view=item&layout=edit&id=624
How to insert this into material?

1. Use Joomla addons that allows you to display a component in a module or content plugin

I've downloaded plugin "component anywhere".
It's need a link. I dont know, how to get a link of date range jevents menu type.

You have a couple of options.

1. Use Joomla addons that allows you to display a component in a module or content plugin
2. Use the timelimit plugin (silver member addon) and use it to specify the dates you want within the latest events module
