Affinity marked its 10th anniversary in style last Saturday at the Park West. Comic Karen Williams and R&B singer Terisa Griffin entertained, with DJs Sherron and Wilma following it up with a dance party, and Taylor Made Cuisine providing food. Awards presented at the Jazz ‘N July (chaired by Mary Morten) were: Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, Chicago Foundation for Women and the Crossroads Fund. Co-founders Lisa Pickens and Chris Smith were also acknowledged, with Smith receiving a special gift for her 10 years of work on behalf of African American lesbian and bisexual women.
