No computers, no one on mute … After months of meeting online, we are getting ready for our first in-person gatherings across Europe. Our annual Homecoming Weekend in Stellenbosch is going virtual this year because of COVID-19, but from Oslo to Munich, Hamburg to Paris, planning is under way to host Matie get-togethers. Let’s meet up, chat and celebrate our global Matie network.
