On one of this week’s segments of #VolunteersWithAVoice, City of Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber joined us for a reading of My Friend is Sad by Amo Willems.
LLF’s #VolunteersWithAVoice segments were created to share the message of kindness through children’s stories. We asked Mayor Gelber about his thoughts on the message behind the book and he said, “There’s a lot of things you’ll do in your life but always be kind and caring and thinking about those people that are important to you, your family and your friends, because that is what makes life so special and so delicious.”
We also got to discuss the Mayor’s thoughts on volunteerism in our community and the impact it has both on the children being served as well as the volunteers. Having attended several LLF programs like LLF’s Holiday Toy Distribution, Mayor Gelber knows firsthand LLF’s impact in the Miami Beach community and beyond!
You can keep up with the Mayor on Instagram @MayorDanGelber. Tune in next week for readings by Johnny Archer of NBC6 and Steve Stowe of the Miami Heat Charitable Foundation!
Craft Night Presented by Eric Vainder of Northern Trust with Eric Kane

For today’s special edition of Craft Night, we spoke with Eric Kane (kanelawpl.com) about his experience as a successful Estate Planning and Probate Attorney. Eric spoke about all the different avenues he took to get to the type of lawyer he is today.
Eric was inspired to go to law school because of his uncle, who unfortunately was never able to live out his own dream of being a lawyer. He looked up to him so much that he wanted to carry on that dream and be able to make a difference as a lawyer. Eric believes that working with law is a great way to “Do Good” in the community because you are able to directly help people.
Critical thinking as a lawyer is an important skill because it teaches you how to solve problems. He encourages young children to look into all the different fields of law that could interest them. There’s jobs in law that deal with everything from real estate, to entertainment, to sports management!
Eric says the most important step for a student is to not procrastinate and always push themselves to work hard. Do your homework at the same time to build that structure and gain that responsibility. His advice is: If you put your mind to it, the sky’s the limit!
During the #DGFGLive, Eric also sheds some light on a few forms of protection that families can fill out to keep their children safe. He suggests looking into Dade Legal Aid’s “Put Something Back” program as a resource that people can use to get help they need with legal manners.
Thank you again to Eric Vainder from Northern Trust for your support on this live segment!
