Here is a gigantic list of cms software to consider,
Nearly as useful: http://www.cmsinfo.org/
Having installed about a dozen different CMS over the years, I can only say: Don't take recommendations from others--the range of options and quality is so diverse that no single person can recommend to you what you need.
Instead,
I gotta say, if you're into content management delivery, you will fall in love with this website, because it allows you to demo dozens of CMS (click on 'portals' in the menu on the left):
Have fun.

Thanks, I found that and found it not to useful.

Thanks, I found this one too. It was more useful by far.

The question is are you still using one? I'm not really sure I want all the overhead of a full-blown CMS. All I really want is for something with: a simple editor, a way to manage menus, a picture gallery would be nice, a community calendar, and I suppose it'll be necessary to use a database to store content. The content will be combine with a template page to give the website a uniform look. So I suppose I'd also want something to manage the template. While there are some neat features in the different CMSes I'm not sure I want all that overhead. I'd ideally like to take the user edits and merge that with the template and create static pages. There are just so many CMSes to choose from it's a bit overwhelming. So now I have to decide whether to roll my own from scratch or cop-out and choose one. I'm not happy with the ones I saw. I didn't see any with pull-down menu features, and I can't tell by looking at them what the template pages look like. Guess I'll go back out and look at some more of those comparison sites.
Thanks all for the suggestions.

Well, writing a front end to a database used to be difficult but it's pretty easy these days. Doing something like a calendar would still be difficult, though.
