Introduction to Table
Dweller Life
Life as a Table Dweller contains
many responsibilities. Table
Dwellers was founded by Austin
Ratcliff at CTCS in early October
2014.
Originally, the organization was
founded to provide a small spider
Jeffery company and security.
Ethan Rocha and Ian Boone
quickly came up with the idea of
a strong founded club after
Jefferys death and thus the COTD
was truly born. Kade Illian made
sure that Ian Boone and Ethan
Rochas dream would come true.
It is custom Table Dweller
protocol to meet in a designated
room in the 3rd period snack
