Some Tips for Prospective Members

The events cited above comprise only a subset of the events that are available to regular and prospective members. Usually, 2 or 3 activities are planned in the local area per week! When you are a member of the Boston Beanstalks, you are also automatically a member of Tall Clubs International, which gives you the opportunity to participate in tall club events throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. To get the full scoop on all Beanstalk events, click here or call 617-HUB-TALL in order to receive a 2-month introductory subscription to The Bean Pod newsletter free of charge.

The Riverbend Lounge at the Marriott Hotel in Newton and our dances - these are the events that exhibit the largest turnouts and are a great way to get acquainted with numerous members and other prospects. The Marriott event occurs on the first Friday of every month and is consistently well-attended.

Beanstalks understand that attending a function or meeting a new group of people can be intimidating, but we’ve all gone through it, and therefore are eager to facilitate the introduction of new tall people to our friendly club! If you are hesitant to try out an event because you prefer not to brave it alone, please let us know. You can always bring a friend (irrespective of height) or we can arrange to have someone call you, meet you at a predefined place, or even car-pool - we are happy to accommodate. There are a lot of members that live in Rhode Island and New Hampshire, so distance need not pose an obstacle.

Being a Boston Beanstalk is really a lot of fun, and we genuinely want to find a way to convey that to our new and prospective members. The most important thing is to relax, enjoy yourself, and bask in the warmth and friendship that this diverse, easy-going club offers to all members.
