Dayton Racquet Club gets new name in reinvention

The Dayton Racquet Club has changed its name as part of a transformation and reinvention of the high-altitude private club in downtown Dayton.

In short, it has dropped its racquet. Here’s how General Manager Amanda Zachary informed members of the name change to, simply, “The Dayton Club:”

“Since 1971, The Dayton Racquet Club has provided business leaders in Dayton a place to host, connect, work and play. We are proud stewards of Virginia Kettering’s vision for the club she founded and intend for the club to flourish for another 47-plus years.”

“Over the past 47 years the Club has seen many changes, including the ways business is conducted and how Members use private clubs. To remain relevant in these rapidly changing times, businesses (in our case, club), must reinvent themselves to attract new Members. Reinvention can include physical changes and more subtle changes, such as in a name.

“The Board of Governors and Management team are delighted to begin this transformation by renaming the club ‘The Dayton Club!’”

“The Dayton Club’s transformation will be more than a name change. Reinvention is happening in all areas: events, menus, craft beverage offerings, and general improvements to the club itself. We are excited for the future of The Dayton Club and creating new club experiences for members every time you visit.”
