TCI consists of 54 member clubs. There are tall clubs in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Sweden and Switzerland which have not affiliated with TCI because their minimum height requirements differ slightly. These clubs are nevertheless based on the same principle as TCI, and because members share many of the same views, we grow closer together in spirit. Convention exchange visits, east and west, have provided the meeting ground for nurturing strong friendships among club members of these continents. The minimum age is 21.
Individual clubs set their own rules as to marital status, etc.
Winners of local pageants such as Miss Tall Philadelphia and Miss Tall Chicago contests are eligible to participate in the Miss Tall International contest at the annual convention. Each club usually holds several social functions each month. Clubs participate in charitable projects as well as being involved in their respective community activities. Membership includes all professions, religions and ethnic backgrounds. Prepared by direction of TCI Executive Club, 1982-1983.
