I think that anything you feel comfortable in carrying would work.  If 
it's something that should be served hot, you can probably use a crock 
pot to keep it warm.  If it's a pie that needs to be kept warm, wrap it 
in towels or something similar.  I"m sure your group will appreciate 
whatever you bring!  I know mine does ..... ;-)
