Be one of your tall peers and attend the Paramount Tall Club of Chicago’s 70th Anniversary Weekend Jan 28-31st 2016. Click here to download a flyer or check out their facebook site and web site. Milwaukee members will carpool, some staying over, some going to daily events.

The March 1 deadline for applications for the 2015 Daniel Gosz Memorial Scholarship has come and gone and 6 packets were found at our PO Box. Now is time to review them and pick our winner who we will also send off to Tall Clubs International for their $1000 scholarships.

Laura Cofran, our friend and former member of the Paramount Tall Club of Chicago has passed away Feb. 8.2015 in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Remember her and her family in your thoughts!

The Tall Club of Milwaukee is starting 2015 with a dinner at the Thunder Bay Grill on Fat Tuesday February 17th, for a Mardi Gras Affair. Our club has it posted as a Milwaukee Talls Meetup event, dinner starting at 6pm. Fox News may well be there to do a story about our group with an interest to follow some of us around in our day to day work lives to see how tall people exist in a world made for average sized people.

Today is not without sadness. Laura Cofran who many of you know from the Paramount Tall Club of Chicago, had a stroke that left her mostly paralyzed over a year ago and on a feeding tube. She also cannot talk. Her husband shared with us today that she doesn’t wish to prolong this state of being and wishes to start her new chapter in Heaven, so please think of Laura. She is currently living in Prince Edward Island in Canada.

As the tallest member of the club and acting president, I’d like to ask any of the membership to stand forward and offer other ideas for activities for this group. Besides the dinner I mentioned above, the Mad Town Talls club is doing a pre Valentines Day dinner that some of us are driving over for.

I also will be scheduling a review of the scholarship applications that have been submitted to us for our local Jason Gosz Memorial Scholarship, and then sending that winner on to vie for the Tall Clubs International Scholarships.

Have a tall time!

We are happy to announce that Miss Tall International 2014, Hannah Eko, will be our guest. We would like to publicize this with Milwaukee media as she is a great role model. Here is a Coast Guard video interview with her, followed by a picture of her winning the pageant at the Tall Clubs International Convention in Washington DC in June.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKw8yJeqd54
