​Tall Club International™ traces its beginnings to 1938 and the inspiration of a very tall young woman who got a little tired of being teased about the short men she was coloring for Walt Disney Studios at the time.  The young woman was Kae Sumner Einfeldt, and the movie was Disney's original "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs."  Now, decades later, thousands of tall people have Kae to thank for a lifetime of fun and meaningful relationships which they have shared with their extended family of tall friends from all around the world.

In addition to regular events such as house parties, hikes, biking, dancing, bowling, dine outs, and more, members of Tall Clubs International Tall Clubs look forward to the annual TCI Convention held in different interesting places each year.  It is usually near the first week in July, and is always guaranteed to be round-the-clock fun for everyone.  ​

A lot of socializing takes place online these days, but once you join the Tall Clubs International family, you'll see what we mean when we say there is no substitute for the experience of being surrounded by lots of other "vertically gifted" people in real life!  It's a world where dancing cheek-to-cheek finally becomes a reality!
