Program: [from Roger] Recently, I heard about a group based in Palo Alto that is developing a new braille labeler. The CEO of 6Dot Innovations, Karina Pikhart, & the Marketing Director, Emily Kinney have committed to doing our meeting on January 21. It should be very interesting, not only to find out about the product, but to hear the story of a real startup enterprise in our field.
