Here is some good news from one of our tall club members, Lyne P.:
"I've been a busy "girl". I just got back from Denver where I played in the USA Open Volleyball Championships. Our team took the silver medal in our age bracket and I was selected for the All Tournament Team. Whoo!"
Congratulations Lyne!!
She's sent along some photos to share:

 Let's raise a glass in honor of Kae Sumner Einfeldt, founder of TCI!
May is the anniversary of the very first TCI tall club and also was the month of Kae's birthday. We owe a big round of applause to the woman who made it all happen!

This is a photo of Kae and some familiar tall faces, taken in Santa Cruz on her 80th birthday in 1996

How it all started:
The first tall club was founded in Los Angeles, California in May, 1938. An article in the Los Angeles Times by Kae Sumner (later Kae Sumner Einfeldt) entitled "Six Foot Three (what will it be?)", attracted nine like minded people to the first party.  

The group established the world's highest society, the California Tip Toppers Club, with a goal of providing a social outlet for tall people. Letters arrived from all over the U.S. and Europe following a June 24, 1940 Life Magazine article. A Ripley's "Believe it or not" panel noted that Kae was painting Snow White's short friends when she wrote the Times article. A campaign to get businesses to regularly make large sized clothing, shoes and bedding was successful. Mattress Inc. of LA put an ad in the paper: "Here it is, Tip Toppers... You Asked For It! The King Sized Mattress!"
