CATONSVILLE, MD — Public Affairs Manager Mel Tansill talks about “365 Days at Charlestown” Facebook project. This project — the only one of its kind in the world — reached more than 40,000 people. He is a guest on “Getting to Know You,” a talk show hosted by resident Marge Wareheim that airs on Charlestown’s Channel 972 closed-circuit television.

Mel Tansill led the project, 365 Days at Charlestown, which highlighted staff and residents at Charlestown beginning in 2015.
“This has never been done before at any retirement community,” said Tansill. “I hope it will help the public better understand the interesting diversity of men and women who live and work at Charlestown.” The project, which is called “365 Days at Charlestown,” puts personalities and faces behind the statistics of our community, so-to-speak, in real time.
Tansill is taking a photo, asking a few simple questions and then posting the photo and responses to his Facebook page (www.facebook.com/mel.tansill). The posts are being shared on Charlestown’s Facebook page, this event page, and on our in-house closed circuit TV station. “We will be reaching hundreds of thousands of people each day of the year through social media,” he said.
