Est. 1969 by Bob & Geri, Club WideWorld was a
trendsetter for several decades, especially in promoting
swinging as a couples social recreation. CWW offered
swing parties with a buffet Friday and Saturday nights
for member couples and for 12 years the
Wednesday Night Discussions.
The latter featured a published subject and a speaker
and was open to all adults. From the Discussion grew
the SSAL (Society for
the Study of Alternative Lifestyles),
NASCA International, The Friday Socials, The Lifestyles
Organization,
Lifestyles Convention, and the development of a
wholly new aspect of tours for couples through
Lifestyles Tours & Travel.
The club closed in 2006 and at this time does not offer
parties or other events. Former members are always
invited to send a message to say "hello." NASCA EOLO [1555]

These were Dinner/Dance Parties for couples held over
12 years on the third Friday of
most months & special events such as Valentine's
Day, New Years Eve
& Halloween.
A night out for adult couples to dine, dance and socialize in a sensual, friendly and
safe environment. TFS closed a
few years ago. The Friday Socials and the 1996
Lifestyles Convention were subjected to unlawful
scrutiny and harrassment by the California ABC (Alcohol
& Beverage Control Board) resulting in legal challenge
by Lifestyles and the ACLU which resulted in a major
portion of the ABC's regulations being declared
unconstitutional by the 9th Circuit. A number of ABC
employees subsequently resigned, retired or were reduced
in status, and the City of Long Beach was fined for the
actions of the city's Police Dept. EOLO NASCA [1026]
