DEL.ICIO.USWill Commerce Club Merge With 191 Club? Should Commerce Club Leave Five Points?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Commerce Club board is considering a merger with the 191 Club.
At its board meeting today, Chairman David Ratcliffe will recommend that the historic club conduct a thorough review to move to the 191 building, about five blocks north of Five Points.
The Commerce Club has been a fixture at Five Points since 1960, serving as a gathering place for the business and civic power structure of Atlanta.
Now leaders are exploring merging the two clubs’ memberships and relocating the Commerce Club. Ratcliffe said the 191 Club would either be expanded or a new location on the top two floors of the building would be the new home of the prestigious Commerce Club.
But he stressed that no decision has been made. Ratcliffe said the board will take a hard look at the options over the summer and likely make a decision sometime in the fall.
