A Conundrum

gnomiI've volunteered to be the point person for coordinating meals to be brought to our friends S&D, who just had a baby. But here's the question -- how should I get the word out? Do I:
A. E-mail people I know who know the couple and rely on those folks to pass the word to folks I may have missed?
B. E-mail the whole shul list, knowing that maybe 10% of the people who read the list know these folks (as they're relatively new to the community)?
C. Something else entirely that I'm not thinking of?
(D. Narf?)
Even though they're not going to be home before tomorrow, I'd kind of like to get the ball rolling, especially if there will be Shabbat food prep involved (what with many people doing their Shabbat cooking tonight). But I don't want to spam people if they'll be upset and therefore choose not to help out. At the same time, I don't want to risk missing someone who might've wanted to help but didn't know that the opportunity was there.
