You are a treasure. I am trying to get ideas for planning church dinners. It will be the people who attend bringing in covered dishes and the Church providing the meats, plates, cutlery, and beverages. Our attendance is around 350 and sometimes more with guests. We are trying to have a dinner every month. You have given me "hope" that this can be done for a reasonable cost. I do however, have one question? How many covered dishes/desserts should each family bring to enable us to have enough for maybe 100 guests?
