Until December 1996, the Tall Club of Silicon Valley was known as the South Bay Tall Club. The club was founded in 1980 by Bob and Judy Hirsch as a nonprofit social organization devoted to bringing together people of above average stature. We are a member of Tall Clubs International (TCI), founded in 1938 by Kay Sumner Einfeldt. TCI has over 60 clubs with several thousand members.
