“Polar Bears of Churchill” topic at friendship meeting

The Seal Beach International Friendship Association will be learning about polar bears in Canada on Thursday, April 15.

The program was cancelled in January due to heavy rains.

Jackie Baird-Bunker, who has been entertaining a broad variety of audiences with her travel films, will present “Polar Bears of Churchill,” which has been used in schools in California, Colorado and New Jersey.

She had a 30-year career in the California State University system, Office of the Chancellor.

Retiring in 2001, Jackie embarked on an entirely new path, expanding her photographic experience to include video and incorporates the fruits of her passions for photography and travel into documentary films.
