But cooking for 300, as did members of First Baptist Church and other volunteers, is another matter.

Preparations and planning for the Canal Road congregation's Christmas dinner -- guest list: everyone -- began four weeks ago and included making the rounds among local businesses for donations and several days of turkey carving, said Vivian Hanich, one of meal's planners and director of the church's women's ministry."
