Funeral Dinner

Yesterday (after bridge) was time to plan a funeral dinner for a young (51) man from our parish. The funeral will be Thursday morning and now the committee has taken over. We are planning for 200. If anyone knows any possible way to estimate the number, let me know. I have had this church job of contacting the family and making plans for over 5 years now. Sometimes you come out closely and other times not. This is a large family and Bob has lived in our community all his life. Also I'm wondering if these funeral dinners, for gathering after a funeral, are just an Iowa thing or if others have similar customs? It falls mostly on the older women of the parish to do the serving, but the younger women are very willing to furnish salads or bars when needed. Now, just for fun, to test your mind, a color test. I've always enjoyed this one. http://www.humorsphere.com/fun/8787/colortest.swf
