Loop from the first day of the month until the dayOfWeek() function says
the date is a Saturday. Wouldn't ever take more then seven iterations.

Quick and dirty and completely untested.

<cfset testDay = createDate(year, month+2, 1)>

<cfloop condition="dayOfWeek(testDay) NEQ 1">
<cfset testDay = dateAdd(testDay,'d',1)>
<cfloop>

<!--- IF all my above syntax is correct, I did NOT look up all the
functions, testDay is the first Saturday. --->

<cfoutput>#dateFormat(testDay, "mm/dd/yyyy dddd")#</cfoutput>
