Will Drupal offer the following functionality? Which version?

I am considering using Drupal for a new site which will be used as the official website for a medium-sized southern city (like Memphis, Little Rock, Nashville). I would like to know if Drupal and it's modules will be able to deliver the type of functionality I will need. Also, I will need to know which version to start off with to give me the most options for modules now and in the future. Modules I will need will cover the following:

  • Robust calendar functionality with many options, find events during certain dates, list events by category, front page calendar, larger Calendar, etc.
  • Jobs module where community business may list available employment opportunities
  • Extremely user friendly back end for site admins to create pages, links, and enter content (WYSIWYG)
  • Membership module so that the public may view members of the Chamber of Commerce, and their business information
  • News module
  • Photo Galleries
  • Meeting Planner
  • Event Planner
  • Site Search
  • Mailing List
  • Newsletter

Will Drupal and it's modules give me these kinds of functionality, or do I need to look in another direction? If so, which version should I use?

Thanks so much for your time and consideration

Cheers,
Charley
