Celebrate World Oceans Day with us . . . What:   World Oceans Day Celebration When:   Saturday, 06 June 2009, 6-9pm Where:   Periscope Cellars, 1410 62nd Street,   Emeryville CA  94608 The concept for World Oceans Day was first proposed in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and has been celebrated unofficially every year since. Three years ago, COARE teamed up with a few other Bay Area organizations to create a series of local events to celebrate World Oceans Day, and we're thrilled to continue that tradition. This past December, the United Nations made it official, and June 8th is now officially known as World Oceans Day. Join us for our third year and for the inaugural celebration of the newest holiday recognizing the oceans that cover nearly 3/4 of our planet. Come celebrate the oceans, sharks, and our Shark Safe℠ efforts. We'll be at Periscope Cellars in Emeryville on Saturday, June 6th from 6-9pm, and we invite you to join us in enjoying a special selection of wines from two wineries, delicious light finger foods from Green Leaf Platters, awesome live music by the local band Nine Wives, and a special screening of the award winning film Sharkwater. In addition to great food, wine, and entertainment, you'll also have the chance to participate in our raffle and silent auction for thousands of dollars worth of gifts and prizes.   (see list below) General admission is only $20 ($25 at the door), and tickets are limited.
