Behind the scenes at Affinity: If you know Affinity, you know these gals. For the past 10 years, Administration / Production Manager Diane has helped run the office. 9-year-old Beta is the Office Guard Dog. She (Beta) knows when you are in the building and may lie down, belly up, to check out your moves. It’s often heard - “Whose dog is this?” and “oooohhhhh, how cute!” She (Beta) laps it up.

Happiest New Year – 2023!! It's going to be a great year!
We are SO excited and happy to announce that Gayle Nakamoto-Jancewicz has joined Affinity, sharing administrative responsibilities with Diane Camelin. Please forward your invoices to Diane and Gayle. We can’t let Dale go completely. She is in once a week keeping Ron sane and dealing with the big picture.
