Cheers! Ted Danson Is Coming to La Jolla

Sam Malone will not be serving up green beer for St. Patrick’s Day. Cheers actor and environmental activist Ted Danson, who played Sam for the popular sitcom, will be at on March 17 for a discussion and signing of his new book Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them.

For more than 20 years, Danson has devoted himself as an activist for oceanic biosystems. In Oceana, Danson details his journey from joining a local protest in the mid-1980s to oppose offshore oil drilling in his Southern California neighborhood to testifying before congressional committees in Washington, D.C., and forming Oceana, the largest organization in the world focused solely on ocean conservation.

His book offers more than a conversational history of our oceans in the past half-century; it boasts graphics, charts, photographs and offers solutions “showing you the specific courses of action you can take to become active, responsible stewards of our planet’s most precious resource—its oceans.”

Tickets are required for this event. Two adult admission tickets will be given out with each purchase of a copy of Danson’s book from . Children are admitted free if accompanied by adults with tickets.

La Jolla Country Day is located at 9490 Genesee Ave. The discussion and book signing is March 17 at 7 p.m.
