Not enough. See the deluxe tray for 100,do1 and 1/2.
Cheese-5# each cheddar,pepper jack,colby cubes you need a mild white, jack or Swiss, same amount
Veggie tray-5# each celery,tomatoes,cukes,carrots-OK, adding 5 pounds broc or cauliflower would be fine
20# shrimp with gal cocktail sauce- either have 1 pound per 5 people, or skip it- 1 cup sauce per 6
320-cookies fine
320-brownies fine
9-gallons lemonade, maybe a gallon or 2 lite.

You need one ounce of meat per ham sandwich, 360 ounces, about 24 pounds.

Same per chicken sandwich, about 24 pounds.
