Did you know that as a member of the Sacramento Tall Club that you are, therefore, also a member of Tall Clubs International?  Tall Clubs International (TCI) is the organization that our club is a member of.  It encompasses numerous tall clubs all over the United States and Canada.  The TCI webpage can be found at www.tall.org.  Drop in there and check out what is available.  While you are at it, you can register to be a member on the TCI webpage and have full access to all its functions via the Member Services Console.  For easy, step-by-step instructions on how to join, please look at the following pdf file: http://www.sacramentotallclub.org/links/tci_registration.pdf

 Some of the things you will find on the TCI webpage:

• Information on the next TCI convention and also weekend events hosted by other TCI clubs (and if you sign-up to be a member on the webpage, you can also register for the weekends online!)
• A search engine where you can find tall clubs all over the nation
• Find out more about the founder of TCI
• View newsletters for other TCI clubs online (if you sign-up).

• Learn about tall clubs all over the world and where the next European tall club convention will be held.

You are a part of a marvelous organization.  Why don’t you take full advantage of it?

Do you feel like doing a bit of traveling and would like to see what other tall clubs are up to?  Then, go to the above link to find upcoming special events for other Northern California (NorCal) tall clubs, flyers for special weekends hosted by other TCI clubs and even tall club events hosted by European tall clubs.  As a member of the Sacramento Tall Club (and, therefore, a member of TCI), you are always welcome to attend events for any other tall club, usually at the same cost as their club members.

 If you would like to find out more about our sister NorCal tall clubs, go to the following link to see their webpage links: www.sacramentotallclub.org/stc_linkspage.htm#other

Did you know that every year our club gives out scholarships to at least one and sometimes two fabulous, and tall, high school seniors?  Yep, see the link above for all the information about this wonderful thing we do for tall local teenagers.  There are photos of the winners with a bit about each one.  You can also read the essay they have to write titled “What being tall means to me.” 

We do fundraisers during the year to raise money for the scholarships and, depending on how much money we raise, we give out one or two scholarships each year.  We have a special team of volunteers (coordinated by our scholarship chair, Mary Roberts) who read through all the applications and select the winner(s).  You can help out by hosting an event to help raise funds or donating directly to the fund.  Contact Mary (scholarship@sacramentotallclub.org) if you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help. 

In addition, our winning scholarship recipient applications are forwarded to TCI for a chance to win additional scholarship money from the TCI Foundation funds.  In 2009, one of our young scholars, Kelly Findlay, won $1000 from TCI in addition to the money we gave to her!

Do you have a hard time finding jeans long enough?  Or, maybe have trouble finding shirts with sleeves that are the right length?  How about finding fashionable shoes in larger sizes?  Well, check out all the links we have on our webpage to resources for clothing for the tall person.  We have over twenty links listed to businesses that cater to tall men and women.  We are adding new links all the time.  One of our newest links, http://www.tallandall.com/, has offered our members a 10% discount if you mention our special code (sactalls).

 If you know of any other good resources for tall clothing that we haven’t listed, please contact Cindy at webmistress@sacramentotallclub.org so she can add the site.  The Sacramento Tall Club does not endorse any of these web pages or products.  This is strictly to help you find clothing items that might fit the taller person.  Use at your own risk and discretion.  If you have problems with any of these vendors or web pages, please contact the STC Webmistress at webmistress@sacramentotallclub.org so she can remove the link.

Do you need to find out how to contact one of our members?  Are you curious to find out who is having a birthday this month?  Or, perhaps you want to look at a past edition of the STC newsletter?  Well, all of this can be found in our “Members Only” area of our STC webpage. There is a Roster of all the current members of the club, which includes email addresses, where available, and other details about the members. We have an STC member birthday listing and a link to finding copies of all our STC newsletters since August 2008.  This is one of the many benefits of being a member of the Sacramento Tall Club. You will also find our STC By-laws in this section as well a link to finding all the details for our STC Social events.

Can’t remember the username and password to get into the “Members Only” area?  Not to worry, just go to www.sacramentotallclub.org/stc_members.htm#lost and the directions for getting that information is listed.

Have you missed a fun event because you didn’t have all the details?  Would you like a single-page calendar grid to post on your fridge that shows all the events for a month?  Do you want to know what is happening next month… or the month after?  Well, all you need to do is go to the Sacramento Tall Club’s Events page to find all this and much more! (http://www.sacramentotallclub.org/stc_events.htm) 

When you click on the Events tab near the top of most STC webpages, it will take you to the STC Events page, which is packed full of useful information.  The first link you will find takes you to a “Quick Look” of our calendar grid for that month.  If you would like to print this out and post it on your fridge, click on the link that says “View and print out the calendar grid.” This grid includes addresses and phone numbers for all the public venues for that month.  During the month, new events may be added or changes may be made to existing events, so check back to see if you have latest version.  (On each calendar grid there is the date of the latest update.) 

Below that you will find a link to go to the “Member’s Only” area for a Detailed Calendar of Events for that month.  This detailed calendar has all the information you need for all the events for that month, including home addresses, phone numbers, RSVP information, and much more.  Once again, as events are added or details change, the calendar details will be updated during the month.  Check back frequently to get the latest information on all our events. 

If you want to see what we have scheduled for upcoming months, just click on the link for the month you are interested in.  We will have confirmed and tentative events listed.  This is especially important if you want to host an upcoming event and want to know which dates are free.  Of course, these are only tentative calendars, so check back often to see the latest changes and updates. 

Also on this page are links to “How to Host an Event”, the TCI weekends and convention pages and a link to a page that has information about upcoming events hosted by other TCI tall clubs, including our sister NorCal tall clubs.  

As you can see, there is a lot happening on the Events page!!  So, why don’t you take some time to look around and become familiar with all it has to offer!
