Members of Leixlip Tidy Town Association got together Sat 8th September to bid farewell to Maya (Marzenna Szmanska) who was shortly returning to Poland.

Maya has been working weekly with the tidy town group since the spring. She used to walk through the Wonderful Barn every day to work in Hewlett Packard, and was saddened by the level of neglect and litter she saw there. She organised a cleanup with LTTA and her friends and from there she became actively involved in all the projects of the group.

She now wants to try set up a similar programme in Warsaw. We will keep in contact with her and wish her every success
