webpage hint #1 - How to submit your photos
– sent
9/28/09 |
| http://www.sacramentotallclub.org/stc_submitphotos.htm |
| 1. Take lots and lots of photos at
events. With a digital camera, this is an easy thing
to do! Especially nice are photos of tall folks having
fun! |
| 2. Select some of the best shots. If
you can, make any adjustments needed (cropping,
red-eye, etc.) before sending them to Cindy. |
| 3. If possible, let
her know which event
they were taken at and who is in the shots. |
| 4. Email them to Cindy at webmistress@sacramentotallclub.org
or, if you have lots of photos, save them on a CD to
give to her. |
| 5. If you have a conventional camera,
try to find a way to scan them for me prior to sending
them. If you can't scan them, feel free to mail them
to Cindy. (Contact her at webmistress@sacramentotallclub.org
and she can send you my address.) Please let her know
if you want the photos returned or if she can keep
them or can give them to our club Historian. |
| 6. Cindy will try to get the photos on
the web page as soon as time allows. |
|
7. Enjoy looking at all the
exciting things we do as a club! |

#2: How to
Host an STC event – sent

|
| Hosting an STC event is not as scary as
you might think. We
have a webpage with all the guidelines for hosts and hostesses
spelled out. There are so many possibilities for events: home parties,
sports events, festivals, dining out, taking a walk… and the
list goes on and on! You
don’t have to do it alone, either.
I always suggest that you invite one friend (tall club
member or not) to come along with you so that, if no one else
shows up, the two of you can have a good time anyway. Or, invite someone from the club to co-host the event with
you. It is a
great way to get to know them better!
And, we always welcome suggestions for events even if
you can’t host it. Someone else may step up to host instead.
If you have any questions or want to host an event,
contact the current Social Coordinator at social@sacramentotallclub.org
.
Let's have some tall fun out there!
Volunteer to host an event today! |

If
you have never been to a Tall Club International (TCI)
convention, you are missing out on lots of fun!
It is a great way to get to know tall club
members from all over the country… and even all over
the world!
At the link above, you can see photos from all
the TCI conventions since 2002, when Sacramento was the
host.
The 2010 TCI convention will be held in New
Orleans from June 24-30, 2010.
It will prove to be another great one I am sure!
There is always a pretty big group of Sacramento
members at all the conventions, so if you are interested
in going, just ask around to see who else is going.
We might be able to hook you up with a roommate!
For more information about TCI conventions and
other events, go to either www.tciconvention.com
or www.tciweekends.com
.
If you sign up on the TCI webpage (www.tall.org
- also see hint #4 on how to
register) you can register for the event online and even
see a roster of whom else has registered!
If you need more info, just let me (Cindy - webmistress@sacramentotallclub.org)
know.
I use it all the time! |

for any other tall club, usually at the same cost as
their club members.

webpage hint #8 – STC Scholarships for tall High
School Seniors - sent 11/17/09 |
|
http://www.sacramentotallclub.org/stc_scholarship.htm |
|
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! |
