10. I have seen in a movie...

...that one who is not paid for his work is an amateur. That characterization is often used to disparage the skill, talent or results delivered by the amateur. As I've seen here in the case of folks on MIRT and the volunteer hosts, they are all good at what they do. I will be volunteering again soon for MIRT and trying to live up to the example of some of the greats of which you are one.
You have a few fans out there so know that what you do is appreciated.

Here are the lines delivered so well by John Houseman to the other characters playing a choir that was practicing Händel's The Messiah:

Mrs. Burns is right, of course; you are amateurs, unlike certain pseudo-professionals like myself who insist on slave wages. Your voluntary and steadfast attendance at these rehearsals fully qualifies you for any definition of the word "amateur". What Mrs. Burns and many others are wrong about is the meaning of the word, which has to do with motivation, not quality. Remember "amo, amat, amas", the Latin verb "to love". The meaning of "amateur" is "he or she who does a thing for the love of it". There is no higher reason for singing than the love of doing it. In that respect, you do qualify as amateurs. And I salute you for it.

Singing, MIRTing, hosting... whatever, well done, thanks.
