2 - Needed to be reminded what day it was.
22 - Were wearing green, including one with a green pen in their pocket.
7 - Were planning to celebrate at a gathering or by going out.
12 - Expected to eat or drink something green. The jello cake to be served at the Senior Center dinner added greatly to this count.
