Teddi 39 Virtual Dancer Instruction Packet 1 Dear Committee, Dancers, Volunteers, and Supporters, This has been an unprecedented year of unknowns, ups, downs, planning, replanning and immense difficulties due to the COVID pandemic for everyone. For 38 years, we have been dancing together for 24 hours, screaming the best songs at 5am at the top of our lungs, without a care in the world. I would have never thought at the end of Teddi 38 last year we would be where we are now, holding the first Virtual Teddi in history. With all of that being said, this year has also brought out the best of the Teddi Dance for Love Committee. Throughout these tough times, the Teddi 39 Committee never ceases to amaze me. Whether it is a Committee member emailing me with an amazing fundraising idea, or seeing the continuous participation of over 250 Committee members throughout a pandemic, it has truly shown me the resilience of St. John Fisher students and the love that they have for the Teddi Dance for Love. To the Committee: I am so incredibly proud of you all! No matter how unknown the ​ future of Teddi 39 was- you stuck with us! All the late night Zoom meetings, Instagram posts, and virtual fundraisers have gotten us this far! Know that YOU kept the Teddi tradition at Fisher going this year through one of the most unforeseeable years in Fisher/Teddi history! Let’s take these next 24 hours to “virtually together” celebrate conquering the struggles of this year and the continued work of Camp Good Days and Special Times! Out of all the Teddis, this will be my most memorable one because of the constant support through this pandemic with this amazing Committee. To our Virtual Dancers: Cancer doesn’t stop during a pandemic, so neither will we! It’s ​ time to DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING! Although we cannot be together dancing in the SLC this year, all of your energy will still be felt throughout the Fisher campus. These next 24 hours are what we make of them so let’s do this together and let’s make some Teddi history! Have fun with your roommates and friends- remember to wear a mask- and let’s have some safe fun! To all of our Supporters and Donors: We would not have been able to make it ​ through this year without you! If this year has taught me anything, it is that so many people are willing to lend a helping hand and do some good for the Teddi tradition. We appreciate you all more than you know and we would not be here today without all the overwhelming support we have received this year. Lots of Teddi Love to you all! “Let's do all that we can, with all that we have, in the place where we are, with the time we are given.” Here to the next 24 virtual hours, let’s make some Teddi history. Woah Teddi Emily Trotman Teddi 39 Chair 2 Dear Committee, Dancers, Volunteers, and Supporters, ​ Teddi 39 has been filled with challenges, adjustments, and most of all uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With that being said the Teddi 39 committee has blown me away with your immense support and dedication in this ever changing situation. It has truly shown me that with the selfless support of 250 plus committee members we are able to band together to accomplish something for a greater cause, the cause of Camp Good Days and Special Times. We started out the semester with the saying “cancer doesn't stop during a pandemic so neither should we” and throughout these last six months the students of St. John Fisher have embodied the phrase and rose to the challenge. To the Committee: WOW! Your time is here and enjoy these next 24 hours. This is ​ what all your hard work and dedication has been leading to. The late night Zoom meeting the virtual fundraisers and most importantly the tradition of raising funds for the children and their families at Camp Good Days and Special Times. Let’s make some Teddi history as we host the first virtual Teddi in Fishers history, without each and every one of you Teddi 39 would not be what it is thank you to our entire committee. Let’s go make some memories! To our Virtual Dancers: While we are unable to dance all together in the SLC this ​ year, I have no doubt that your energy and enthusiasm will ring throughout campus for these next 24 hours! DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING! Let’s go have some fun and make some Teddi history! To all of our Supporters and Donors: Without your continued support of the ​ students of St. John Fisher as well as the Teddi Dance for Love we would not be where we are today. While the pandemic has caused many new normals there is one constant, the Teddi Dance for Love we appreciate every single one of you while I know we would all love to be together here today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of support we have received this year. “Let’s do all that we can, with all that we have, in the place where we are, with the time we are given.” Here to the next 24 virtual hours, let’s make some Teddi history.

Just because the Teddi Dance for Love is going on does NOT mean that the residential hall rules don’t apply. Here are some of the main rules that would apply to follow: Mask Use While in the residence halls, students must wear a mask or face covering unless in your room alone or with your roommate. If someone enters the room who is not assigned to it, everyone must wear a mask and practice social distancing. Social Distancing Please remember to always maintain 6 ft. social distance. Room Occupancy Maximum room occupancy for single and double rooms is double the assigned occupancy of the room (i.e., a double room may have no more than four people in the room at one time). The maximum occupancy for Founders Hall suites is six people. Residence Hall Guests Resident students can host other residential students in their room during visitation hours. Please review the inter-hall guest policy for more ​ information. ​ Noise & Quiet Hours Quiet hours are observed from 1 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. 1. During quiet hours, noise must not be heard beyond the limits of an individual's room/suite including personal noises (voices, electronic equipment, etc.). 2. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day. Note: In your bags, you will also have Door tags! This shows other ​ students that you are in Teddi! Feel free to decorate these, and when you put them up, maybe walk over to your neighbor and let them 6 know you will be dancing for Teddi! Please be mindful of everyone around you and be courteous! 3.
