PORTRAITS BY JACK BENJAMIN
Residents of Carolina Meadows traveled back in time recently, posing for “Downton Abbey”inspired portraits as a way to raise money for UNC-TV. Resident Susan Gaca came up with the idea. Photographer Jack Benjamin agreed to take the shots at no charge and secured costumes from PlayMakers Repertory Company and Bernard’s Formalwear. The continuing care retirement community unveiled the portraits at a “Downton”-themed fundraising dinner on February 21. Last year, Carolina Meadows raised more than $22,600 for UNC-TV. CHM
