It is possible and its easier than that ...

It is under the preferences option for each user.  Use the 'Grant
Access' option.  Each user in the group/s which can create entries needs
to grant read access to the group/s which you want to have read access.
 They also have to grant full rights to the group/s that have full rights.  

Another alternative is to add a 'Infrastructure' user to the system,
which is used for making these updates and then just grant read access
to all users.  This is a bit messier, but it means that you don't
clutter everyone's calendar with the events.

Hope this helps
